Another Approach To Public Holiday Displays-- "Only In America"
Today's Coloradoan reports on Larimer County (CO) Sheriff Jim Alderen's third "Apparently Annual Politically Incorrect Christmas Tree Trimming Party." This year, though, in order to be inclusive, the sheriff also invited atheists and agnostics from the Colorado Coalition of Reason to be part of the event. Displays on the grounds outside the Sheriffs Office Administration Building include a Christmas tree, a nativity scene, a menorah and a sign placed from the Coalition of Reason wishing love, illumination and celebration for all during the Winter Solstice. A representative of the Coalition spoke, inviting people to learn more about each other's beliefs.
