The heart of the city will be illuminated with seasonal cheer as Mayor Thomas M. Menino and the Boston Parks and Recreation Department host Boston’s 64th Official Holiday Tree Lighting on Thursday, December 1, from 6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. on Boston Common.

Yes, thats right, Holiday tree, not Christmas tree. In a move to be more inclusive of religions other than Chrisitanity, the city has renamed its annual lit-up winter tree. But not everyone appreciates this gesture of good tidings.
Jerry Fallwell is reportedly threatening the city with a lawsuit over the etymology of the coniferous symbol. We'd like to hear what you think.
