Look to moonbattery-addled Portland for the latest updates to the Newspeak Dictionary. Today we learn that the term “Christmas tree” has been deleted. Until Christmas has been abolished completely, such trees will henceforth be referred to simply as “trees”:

As thousands gathered in Pioneer Courthouse Square for the Oregon city’s 41st annual tree-lighting on Friday night, leaders and speakers avoided mentioning “Christmas” at any point — including in the ceremony itself and the event’s ads.

The festive occasion was kicked off with a woman from the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs thanking everyone in the crowd for coming out on Native American Heritage Day.

Now there’s a holiday wokesters will celebrate with enthusiasm, instead of while holding their noses like they do with Christmas.

Draped in a Palestinian flag, [another featured speaker] used her stage time to lead the crowd in a “Free Palestine” chant.

Those who have opened a Bible will note that calling for the eradication of Jews from Israel is to put it mildly not Christian. But where moonbats hold sway, Christmas is not about Christianity; it is about moonbattery.
