Back to the Seattle Christmas tree discussion
To those who said "separation of church and state" and that Christmas trees shouldn't be displayed on the grounds of state sponsored religion...here you go:
"The Supreme Court has held since 1984, the famous 'Reindeer Rule,' that if a symbol of Christmas is mostly secular, like a reindeer or a Christmas tree or Santa Claus, that is not a violation of the separation of church and state."
