According to a Massachusetts public library, someone or some people were uncomfortable with the library's traditional Christmas tree. So the library chose to cancel it this year.
What about people uncomfortable with the lack of the tree? Don't they count? I wonder if the obvious question was asked: what makes you uncomfortable with a Christmas tree?
Un-woke people like myself are uncomfortable about dissenting against decisions like this one. You can be cancelled at your job or in your club or neighborhood when you stand up for what you really think.
But the community didn't back down in this case and the tree went up. A local woman says, "[T]his Christmas tree has brought out just a beautiful unity of different voices, people that I think come from different political ideologies, different ethnicities, different religions. But they all got behind this, and it’s a beautiful thing."
