    "World Magazine reports that government officials have decided to allow religious ornaments on the Capitol Christmas Tree after all. Children in Arizona, who will make the decorations, had previously been told their ornaments "may not reflect religious or political themes."

The Christmas tree ornaments must be submitted Monday, however, meaning the guideline may have already ruled out some religious decorations.
