      *Some Christians in Kentucky are angry over the governor's yuletide terminology saying he has put political correctness ahead of his Christian values.

      According to the AP Wire, the giant evergreen that will brighten the state Capitol lawn this winter won't be called a Christmas tree. Instead, Gov. Steve Beshear has called it a "holiday tree."

     The Rev. Jeff Fugate of Lexington says the change is offensive to Christians. Beshear administration spokeswoman Cindy Lanham says the holiday tree reference is meant to be inclusive of Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukkah and New Year's.

      Residents around the state found out about it Tuesday when the state sent a letter looking for someone to donate a tree. Republican Senate President David Williams said Beshear is putting political correctness ahead of Kentucky values.
