War WAR ON CHRISTMAS: Why Doesn't the Downtown Christmas Tree Light Up?
Posted by Megan Seling on Wed, Dec 5, 2012 at 11:58 AM
THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. This is a holiday disaster. This is worse than the botched New Year's Eve fireworks show of 2008!
A Christmas tree that does not light up at night? Who is in charge here? THE WAR ON CHRISTMAS IS REAL.

@13 only the good stuff, fresh off a roll.
It's even better when it ices over, fwiw.
At least in Fremont we put a giant red star on Lenin, and the bars serve hot chocolate (fresh from Theo's Chocolate Factory), hard cider, and beer.

All kidding aside, it is really lame. Last year they couldn't get ice skating right, this year it's a "tree" that doesn't light.
This may seem like a silly thing, but without a big lit up tree, I have one less trip to take downtown with my wife. I'm sure others will stop bothering to come see the tree and thus not shop downtown on that trip.

It's so that our atheist missiles can't target it in the dark. We only attack under cover of night, you see. During the day, we're too busy crying liberal crocodile tears into our copies of On the Origin of Species as we Jewishly try to spread godless secularism and abortion through our liberal homosexual ACLU universities.

Why do they have to put a chain-link xmas tree skirt around it? I think it's always been that way, but it looks horrible, and makes it seem like there's a perpetual construction zone around it.

If this tree doesn't light up what the hell did they do for this year's annual tree lighting ceremony?
