Participants at Copenhagen's global climate summit will be meeting during the holiday season, but they will not be surrounded by festive Christmas decor, according to Denmark's Foreign Ministry.Earlier this evening, this article was the top news story at FOX News.

A sponsor providing fir trees for the conference's Christmas trees learned this the hard way when it was turned away by planners of the international event, the Copenhagen Post reported. Article
This is news? The participants are supposed to be meeting to discuss climate-related issues. Why is is desirable for them to have Christmas decorations? Really, who gives a crap?
Of course this is just another salvo in Fox's annual "war against the (imaginary) war on Christmas". Those evil UN guys are destroying Christmas.
Can you imagine the uproar if the conference was being held during Ramadan and decorated accordingly? These same people who want to shove Christmas down everyone's throats would go nuts.
Look, I love Christmas. It's a fun time of year, the music is good, and everything is very pretty. But I understand that more people in the world don't celebrate it than do, and they don't want it in their face all the time. Sheesh.

Not to mention it might be considered inapropriate to encourage the cutting down of live trees at a global conference on the climate...
