I sense sarcasm.
But in "fighting back" sometimes we go to far.
Gee I've even sent out cards saying Happy Holidays (as well as Merry Christmas). Always thought that got in News Years. Is that ok?
A city is a public entity sponsored by taxpayers. If the city is putting on the parade it should be open to others like Jews, if they want to participate. Unfortunately, Christains are not the only ones who have a holiday at the end of the year. Besides, Santa Claus, Christmas Trees, and shopping don't seem very religious to me.
So what's wrong with a holiday season parade. I don't care if you end it with Santa and the baby New Year. It's taxpayer money and if it's one religious holiday being celebrated at the exclusion of others, as this mayor seems to be doing, then it seems wrong to me.
