I remember when I was growing up in daBronx, this time of year the el that carries the #2 trains over White Plains Rd would be adorned with Christmas lights, wreaths, Menorahs, etc. This was also done on other sections of the subway system throughout NYC. Just imagine the uproar if the MTA were to allow such a blatant "governmental sponsorship of religion" today! Also, here's a dirty little secret, us gubmint workers not only get paid for Christmas, but unlike other holidays were we get 2X base pay for working those days, anyone who works on Christmas day gets 2.5X base pay. I dare the ACLU and any atheists to file court breifs to end this practice. I DOUBLE DOG dare them!

Well, that's not true if you're a government worker like me. Since I wear green pajamas with velcro patches, and tan combat boots to work, I get paid the same, regardless.
