I can't believe that no one has seen this, so being a local I suppose the dubious distinction falls upon, moi......http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2003471726_airport11m.html
Put up a Menorah fer Gawd sakes!
As much as I am anti-religion, I don't have any problem with anyone displaying theirs.......
Except for Burkas & face covering scarves in public that is..........
The trees will not be back this year.......:'(.....JK

I read that on msnbc. Sad. I don't know about the burkas and face scarves though. Sometimes I wish they were wearing face scarves! :devil: At least until my salad law passes. 8)

Why don't they just put up a "Charly brown " tree?
You can imagine it to be a christmas tree and it looks like a hanukka candelabra as well.

Yes, but they should also put up a menorah and a. . . . . uh, what's a symbol of Kwanzaa?

Winter solstice celebrations have been around since before any of our major religions and should be observed. Whatever way anyone observes it should be honored.

I agree!
Pretty sure the 'Holiday Tree" has pagan origins as well....

True I guess, but I'm not going to rub blue mud in my belly button just because some one on a pacific island did 3000 years ago.

Everyone is free to celebrate their own way in their own time, just don't expect me to celebrate with them unless I feel the urge.

If that Rabi want's a Menorah in the Airport, let him build his own, then he can have whatever he likes.... that's True Freedom.
