Scrooge town…

Durham,  New Hampshire must have been  the runner-up  for the Ebeneezer Award,  having done away with its Christmas tree, and therefore the Annual Tree Lighting Ceremony will be called the “Frost Fest” instead.  The town has also nixed the hanging of wreaths on Main Street’s lampposts.  Santa Claus was allowed to be present,  but no longer arrived on a firetruck.   Less than a handful of citizens had expressed discomfort.  I don’t think much of people who are distressed by a Christmas tree.  Even if their parents beat them with one when they were children they should have gotten help years ago.  I think it far more likely they are engaging in the tyranny of victimhood, something progressives glory in and that normal Americans find repulsive.  Thanks to yet another town council with gelatin for spines, its residents will have a slightly less Merry Christmas this year.
