'Grown Ups' actor, podcaster warns of rising 'anti-Christian feel' in US
Comedian and podcaster David Spade says he’s getting tired of the rising “anti–Christian feel” over Christmas.
The 61-year-old SNL alum and “Grown Ups” actor called out a local mall for "consciously" omitting any mention of Christianity during a recent Christmas tree-lighting ceremony.
“I will say that Christmas is taking a little bit of a beating lately,” said Spade in theDec. 7 episode of the "Fly on the Wall" podcast with fellow former SNL alum, Dana Carvey. “... I saw the other day, there was a tree-lighting ceremony for the Christmas tree in some dopey mall, but it said tree-lighting ceremony, and they were careful not to say the word ‘Christmas' during the whole ceremony.”
During the podcast, both Spade and Carvey acknowledged that even non-Christians have traditionally enjoyed Christmas tree-lighting ceremonies, “I’ve never met someone from another religious faith that was upset about a Christmas tree,” added Carvey.
