NO Xmas trees this year

The official Christmas trees are still down at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, but a few little trees have popped up at airline counters. An employee at Frontier Airlines took up a collection on Monday and bought a few foot-tall trees for the counter. The initiative followed a decision by airport officials to remove its nine Christmas trees instead of adding a giant Jewish menorah to the holiday display as a rabbi had requested. Isn't this getting a little ridiculous? I heard on the news about Walmart going to back to saying "Merry Christmas" instead of "Happy Holidays." walmart made the decision after customers complained about the use of "Happy Holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas." Why can't this time of year just be about the celebration and not the appropriate ways we should or should not be greeting people or decorating our lawns and businesses. I'm not offended when someone says "Happy Holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas,"although I was raised in a Christian family. Can't we just put religion behind us for this one time of the year? What are your thoughts on seasonal greetings and decorations? Or any responses about the Seattle or Walmart incident? Sorry, I know I just posted this but I left some things out that might confuse readers.
