Fox News entertainment called it a holiday tree. Fox is taking their War on Christmas seriously this year.

how much is this fire tree cost and any FOX burned inside?

[kensolar]

What? Fox had a pagan tree up instead of a Christian cross? I'm shocked.
The fire would have been more appropriate as well.
