Dear Reno - Next Holiday Season Try to Not be So Janky with the Decorations
Thursday, December 2, 2010 at 12:51PM 
Dear Reno,
The Holiday Season is right around the corner. Everyone is in a frenzy between black Friday, UNR's football victory, ABC Family's 25 Days of Christmas, and the smashing success of the Buttcracker. However the hopes and dreams of the denizens of Reno came crashing down when the holiday decorations started coming up. You decided that it would be appropriate to put a lop-sided tree in the middle of downtown right next to a wooden menorah that appears as if it was made from a 2nd grader's art class. Christians and Jews are crossing the spiritual divide over their fervent hatred of these holiday decorations. Now instead of Hanukah glee and Christmas cheer, we have disgruntled people clamoring for the head of the mayor and the resignation of every member of the holiday decoration committee. So thank you Reno. We thought that our horrid graduation rates, abysmal teen pregnancy percentages, and crazy tea-bagging politicians were humiliating enough but the flaccid Christmas tree and unfortunate menorah really do take the cake.
Happy Holidays
Love
Ginger

Monday Dec. 6, 2010. Marilyn Newton/RGJApparently I was not the only one who was a little perturbed by the slanting tree of Reno. Citizens and media pundits alike have voiced their frustration, confusion, and praise of the Christmas tree. We have even garnered a little national attention for the spectacle. Some surmise that the crooked tree is a reflection of our less than squeaky clean politicians while others are relating that we should be accepting the misshapen tree and not ridicule it nor socially ostracize it. More often than not though, people - though frustrated - feel that the tree is "ghetto" just like Reno and therefore it is ironically a perfect fit.
The funniest part of this whole catastrovesy is that nobody is discussing the wooden Menorah that was put up in protest to the Christmas tree. Apparently the slight slant of a Christmas is more newsworthy than an independent group's attempt to education the public about religious exclusion.
