O Tannenbaum

[bigmacbear]

Looking at a picture verytiredmummy posted of an outsized Christmas tree in a public space in Berlin (convention center? airport?) reminded me of this little gem from here in Seattle: Airport Christmas Trees Gone After Rabbi's Request. Note that it's made the national news. Maybe here it should be "Oy, Tannenbaum" instead.

Update: The airport officials and the rabbi have worked out their differences, so the trees are coming back.

Oh good, that's good to know. that Rabbi needed to have some sense beaten into him as to how his religious views overshadow others? I mean, the Christmas Tree is almost a universal icon, true, primarily Christian in orgin but still many faiths/cultures use it this time of the year.
