FAQ: Will there be pork in my xmas dinner? From POLITICO:

"... there's a growing urban legend that he won't have a Christmas tree.

The White House Historical Association has been receiving calls and emails about an alleged Obama decree that the Christmas trees in the White House would now be known as "holiday trees." And artists submitting designs for ornaments on the Blue Room tree were not allowed to depict Christian themes.

"It's strange," said Maria Downs, the historical association's spokeswoman. "They're almost saying, 'Are you aware of this?'""

In other news, the White House Christmas planners are relieved to hear they had not accidently purchased Muslim trees. Damn those chain-emails! I'm still waiting for my mail order bride destined soul-mate to show up, MSN not to remove me for account inactivity, and AOL saving a dying baby by giving 5 cents for every email forward after forwarding those to 25 friends...  ¶ posted by Jon at 10/17/2009
