A Massachusetts library decided not to install a Christmas tree this year, eliciting outrage from some staffers and other members of the local community who spoke to 'Jesse Watters Primetime.'

having a Christmas treeHe cited one library employee who spoke out to his program, lodging an objection over the lack of a tree.I was told that when people… walked in that room, it made them uncomfortable," said library supervisor Lisa Desmond."Town Hall has a menorah out. I say let's celebrate every tradition, religion — whatever it is that sparks joy for you and your family."

Another woman said there should be no problem with the holiday installation just because the tree by itself doesn't"resemble" every religion or every religious holiday."I think it's just the thought of Christmas and the spirit of Christmas," she said, adding that the lack of tree this year could make young children upset or have them wonder why it isn't there anymore.

"It's not fair that a few town employees who didn't feel comfortable were able to effect this change in this town that is supposed to be inclusive, and I feel that this is a very exclusive maneuver that they've made for those who appreciate the holiday of Christmas." He joined Fox News in 2013 as a writer and production assistant.
