Merry Christmas or PC Greetings
One thing there is plenty of in Berkeley is political correctness. Last week I saw this tree someone tried to set up. I don’t know the story behind it, so I can only guess whether this was a Christmas Tree or the politically correct “holiday tree.”
There is one Christmas tradition that is not lost in Berkeley, the placing of things in trees. What could be a more fitting symbol of the local atmosphere then a hippie?
While it is a bad picture, the hippies have occupied an oak tree near Memorial Stadium to protest the cutting down of these trees to build a new gym. Even though almost three trees will be planted for every tree cut down, that is not good enough for the tree sitters.
I wish a Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!
Hope you had a great Christmas! Enjoy the traditions! Christmas rocks — and so do Berkeley Republicans!
