Christmas Tree Follow Up

Dec 15th, 2006 | By Jared Blank

A follow-up to the removal of the Christmas trees at Seattle’s airport:

The folks running Seattle’s airport decided the hell with it, we’re putting the Christmas trees back. The group that started the brouhaha by asking for a menorah to placed in the airport denies that it ever asked for the trees to be taken down, so the trees were put back up. They’re still annoyed that a menorah wasn’t put up, though.

But the same group had a better experience with Hawaii’s airport, which announced that they will, in fact, be displaying menorahs in December. All is right with the world.
