A popular Chanukkah song titled Maoz Tzur (Rocky Fortress) features these lines,

And there we will give thanks with an offering
When you have prepared the slaughter
for the blaspheming foe

Christmas celebrates the birth of 'The Prince of Peace' while Chanukkah celebrates the slaughter of Greeks.

Merry Christmas!

THANK YOU, DAREN for passing this along. It was something that caught my eye but between a five-day Pacific Northwest power outtage, 2 1/4 inches of snow this morning and a host of other holiday woes, I haven't gotten around to posting this. Thank you for bringing it up here.

You know, this is not a whole lot different from what we saw during the "Sea-Tac Scrooge" incident. And, like then, there will likely be a whole lot of capitulation, the story will change, etc. etc. - but in this case, as in the case of the Sea-Tac Christmas Tree incident, first impressions make all the difference. You can capitulate and apologize and rationalize a stance further on down the line but by then it's too late - you've already impressed yourself on the national conscience and shown your true colors. Same with the Rabbi in the previous story, same with the People's Republic of Washington State officials in this story.

Daren, I echo your sentiments: MERRY CHRISTMAS, from a proud American Infidel!
