Christmas Tree Controversy

[Lady Pi Phi]

There has been a lot of outcry over the Christmas Tree incident in Toronto. The president of the Canadian Muslim Congress and Canadian Jewish congress both said that they thought the removal of the tree was ridiculous. There was also a protest outside the court house over this.

The airport was SeaTac (Seattle/Tacoma).

When I was in school, I was a tour guide, and there was a Christmas tree in every room except one. I can't help but wonder if they still do that, or has that lovely tradition gone away, too?

Once, I had a tour of Girl Scouts, and in the first room, explained how they will see the various Christmas Trees & Traditions in each of the rooms. I did my spiel, then asked if there were any questions. One little girl put up her hand and said, "We're all Jewish." Thinking quickly, I pointed out that the ornaments in that room happened to look like dreidels! *whew!*
