War On Christmas: Chase and The Christmas Tree
posted by: Robin Marty

The story goes...
It didn't take Chase Bank long to end up on the War on Christmas's "Naughty" list.  That scrooge of a company forced a poor bank in Texas to take down a customer donated Christmas tree from its business lobby.

Sort of.

The customer who donated the 9-foot flocked artificial tree said Chase and Political Correctness took it.

But hold up on that hunt for secular devils on Southlake Boulevard.

Other Chase banks have Christmas trees. The big New York headquarters has two, from what I see on the Web. The Houston regional office has one.

American Christmas Tree Association Helps You Get the Most From the Holiday Season

• When it comes to making one of the most important purchases of the holiday season, consumers are faced with what can seem to be an overwhelming amount of choices. But no matter what Christmas tree you choose to celebrate the holidays, artificial or farmed, the American Christmas Tree Association urges consumers to make educated decisions about the trees they purchase for their families.
• There are Christmas trees for every budget and every lifestyle.
• According to the U.S. Fire Administration, if your household includes a farmed tree in its festivities, keep the tree well watered. Typically shorts in electrical lights or open flames from trees placed too close to fireplaces, candles, lighters or matches start tree fires. Dry and neglected trees are a fire waiting to happen.
• Consumers should feel great about purchasing a Christmas tree. Neither an artificial Christmas tree nor a farmed tree has a significant impact on the environment.
