Perhaps the town should give the Mayor and the town council the old Heave-Ho?? Sorry. . .couldn't find any pics. I'll look some more.

Sort of shot themselves in the foot on this one. If pagan old St. Nick is not ok, and Jesus isn't either, what on earth are the townsfolk celebrating?
To: MeeknMing
I don't know why I even read these articles. All they do is raise my blood pressure. If I lived in this town, I'd dress up like St. Nick from here on out til Christmas just to spite these people.

My e-mail sent this afternoon
It has been reported that your municipality of Kensington Maryland has banned Santa and his arrival on a fire truck from your Christmas tree lighting.
I live in Wisconsin and recently have been embarrassed by the actions of The Madison WI School Board who attempted to ban the Pledge of Alliance in the Madison Schools. The action was supposed to prevent a few students from feeling uncomfortable. Until I read the story about your actions I assumed the Madison School Board members were the worst incompetents in public service. You have single handedly saved their reputations.
By the way don't get any ideas and try to ban the Pledge in your town.
Merry Christmas

I think Santa is a secular humanist religious symbol. Just a slight re-arrangement of the letters will provide the source. This is clearly an establishment of a leftist religion by the town and is therefore unconstitutional. These fundamentalist secular humanists never give up trying to foist their religion on us.

Hi, old buddy. I sent this message to the Mayor today.
"Mayor: May I suggest that you stay away from the Christmas tree lighting. Someone has to have the good sense to put an end to these kinds of things. I am a neighbor across the river in Fairfax County, but it seems as though we are on different continents."

God damn these people. How about a couple of the townsfolk telling the mayor that they feel "uncomfortable" with these 2 families being part of the towns residents, and giving the families the heave-ho-ho right out of town.

"Santa Claus" is an Anglicization of San Nicklaas, the Dutch name for St. Nicholas. It has nothing to do with Satan.

Even though my fingers are still aching from my e-mails to Leahy and Schumer, I wonder if you would mind posting an address for these maroons. Since I'm on a roll, I might as well send them a few choice thoughts.
To: MeeknMing
Difficult to tell whether Montgomery County is trying to become the Berkley East or Ithica South.
As earlier posts/headlings said, they have become a worldwide laughingstock.

What about the people who feel excluded because Santa won't be there? Does it work both ways? Probably not.
To: MeeknMing
Need to send those two families Christmas cards...
Anyone get their address?
To: billhilly
Thanks for posting the email. I just flamed them in few words.

If I lived in this town, I'd dress up like St. Nick from here on out til Christmas just to spite these people. LOL - Good Idea! You think like me. We should send in my Hubby. He looks just like Santa, he's 6'5", 300 lbs. and extremely loud. Let's get him a sack or two of coal and let him scare the heck outta them.
If you don't celebrate Christmas why do you give a damn about the tree lighting?

"Santa Claus" is an Anglicization of San Nicklaas, the Dutch name for St. Nicholas. It has nothing to do with Satan. Thanks for helping me to understand that. But I must point out that the notion of Santa Claus is a clever ploy to get parents to lie to their children, while diverting attention from the birth of Christ. And saints were a method of worship of graven images. You secular humanists keep trying to foist your modern ideas on us, but it won't work!!! Now what is "satire" the Anglicization of?
To: MeeknMing
"These two families, who don't celebrate Christmas, say they feel excluded because - duh - Santa is synonymous with the holiday."Why would these families WANT to attend the Christmas Tree lighting ceremony????
Exactly what part of "Christmas Tree" do these people not understand???
If Santa is synonymous with the holiday, what pray tell is a Christmas Tree?
To: MeeknMing
Town Bans Santa Claus...Santa has left the building...
