It is worth noting that blue and white are common winter colors and that all real snowflakes have six points.
Not sure what it has to do with this story, but Chappaqua is also the Clinton's new stomping ground.

I thought snowflakes had 8 points. stupid me.

I'm sure these nimrods would be really happy with a decor of green and white cresents and severed heads to honor the Religion of Peace. < / sarcasm >

I just have to laugh. Who would look at snowflakes on a flag and imagine some Star of David conspiracy? Shoppers won't come? Like who, Nazi shoppers?

Fear of Christmas
More like fear of Hanukkah.
Looks like a winter-themed flag to me. Good grief!
To: conservative in nyc
This statement is what prompted by Fear of Christmas comment:
"I was told to keep in mind that we didn't want anything too religious," said Caverzasi, who spent several weeks looking at flags before settling on a design. "We wanted something that was neutral, and snowflakes and the word 'welcome' in my mind was neutral."
Fear of Christmas also affected the Seattle Airport fiasco.

But where she sees neutrality, others see favoritism towards the Jewish faith.Since when are snowflakes part of a Jewish tradition? LOL! I guess folks saw blue and white and immediately thought 'Israel'. If I saw blue with snowflakes, I'd immediately think 'Winter' and start shivering. They do sound nice, by the way, but it sure is silly that the woman had to get all worried about anything religious. I guess even wreaths wouldn't pass that test, huh?
Our town puts wreaths with red bows and white mini lights on all the lightpoles down Main Street. It's very festive, and folks look forward to it every year!

Sounds like in Chappaqua, affluency and lunacy are interchangeable words.

Don't you see the two six-sided stars? Don't you know that every six-sided star is the Star of David, symbol of Israel?
Next thing you know, someone will want to put up a *gasp* Christmas Tree or *gasp* light a menorah on Main Street! The horror of remembering that the holidays are holy days!
To: mollynme

Not really. I come from a Jewish community and they look like Jewish decorations to me. Jews tend to use blue and white snowflakes to counterpoint the red and green of Christian and commercial Christmas.
