Excellent. Then it should be perfectly fine to display just menorahs, just Christmas trees, or both, or neither, without any implications or any basis for lawsuits. Thus there is no basis for complaint that Christmas trees and not menorahs were displayed. To complain about such a think is like complaining that banana trees and not orange trees were displayed. |
