All nine Christmas trees have been removed from Sea-Tac International Airport instead of adding a giant Jewish menorah to the holiday display as a rabbi had requested.
For more than 25 years, the airport has celebrated the holidays with Christmas trees over its entrances. But overnight, the Port of Seattle ordered all of them removed. Maintenance workers boxed up the trees during the graveyard shift early Saturday, when airport bosses believed few people would notice.
"We decided to take the trees down because we didn't want to be exclusive," said airport spokeswoman Terri-Ann Betancourt. "We're trying to be thoughtful and respectful, and will review policies after the first of the year."
Rabbi Elazar Bogomilsky, who made his request weeks ago, said he was appalled by the decision. He had hired a lawyer and threatened to sue if the Port of Seattle didn't add the menorah next to the trees, which had been festooned with red ribbons and bows.

I'm going to say Merry Xmas to everyone in a turbin and yammaca. It's just like those douchebags that want the Pledge either changed or abolished. Tough shit.

Haha, we should have a way for people like that to exercise there beliefs. You do not want to pledge to the flag? Do not want to be a American citizen? Ok, no insurance, no police/fire protection and no use of public services/facilities. Have fun!

Everybody wants to change what this country was/is all about. It's pathetic.
