Local governements must either put up Santas and menorahs or neither. To make it easier a company should sell a Santa holding a menorah.-- Rexaldo, Jan 04 2003 Law Info http://www.pbs.org/now/quiz/quiz2.htmlFrom NOW [Rexaldo, Oct 17 2004] Hey UnaBubba!

Great argument but add some more info. He gave a website that says they do. Maybe you live out side the USA but in the USA they do. Thank you-- LawBoy!, Jan 04 2003 It may be law someplace but, it doesn't exactly make sense to me. It would seem more equitable to require putting up a "Hanukkah Harry" along with Santa.-- half, Jan 05 2003 Christmas trees, mistletoe, holly branches, and Santa Claus aren't religious symbols, a nativity scene or a menorrah is. As long as both religious and secular items are displayed, it isn't "endorsing" a religion.-- whlanteigne, Jan 05 2003 I hate laws like that. Fer cryin' out loud, why don't we just replace every public item that has ever had a religious connotation anywhere with a smiley face and a disclaimer saying (this smiley face is not intented to influence you to join the cult of the smiley face).
Constitutionality run amuck.-- RayfordSteele, Jan 06 2003 random, halfbakery
