‘It’s about Hanukkah,’ Fox News host says about Christmas trees after her network’s burns down

For one thing, Hanukkah is over. For another, you mark the holiday by burning candles, not entire fir trees.

Maybe that was what Fox News host Ainsley Earhardt was getting at when she said that the man arrested for allegedly burning down the Christmas tree outside Fox News Channel headquarters in New York was attacking, among other things, Hanukkah.

“It’s a tree that unites us that brings us together, it is about the Christmas spirit, it is about the holiday season, it is about Jesus, it is about Hanukkah,” Earhardt said on Fox & Friends, the morning show she co-hosts. “It is about everything we stand for as a country and being able to worship the way you want to worship, it makes me so mad.”

Hanukkah commemorates the rededication of the Jewish temple several centuries before the birth of Jesus. The two holidays, Christmas and Hanukkah, are coincidental in their midwinter timings, but in little else.

It's too bad it's not her STUPIDITY/IGNORANCE that was "burned" as opposed to the tree.

Sadly most people who watch Fox will not get what a blindly stupid thing this is to say.

Christmas trees are about Hanukkah?

BTW Our tradition of Xmas trees comes form the druids and pagans who wanted to see
some greenery in the darkest part of the winter.
