Rabbi not Suing, Christmas Trees Back

CBNNews.com- Christmas trees are returning to the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport.
The airport took them down after a rabbi complained the airport's holiday displays didn't include a menorah for Hanukkah.
Airlines allowed their employees to set up little Christmas trees on their counters while the big trees were missing.
Now the rabbi says he won't sue, so the airport's official trees are going back up. It's something airport employees and passengers are happy about.
"It's nature, and it's not a religious thing or anything, it's just a Christmas tree," said Leslie Mengedhoht, Delta employee.
Traveler Nancy Snyder said, "Lighten up, that's what I say."
"I think everybody should be a little more tolerant this time of year," said traveler Colin Fagan.
"I don't think it should offend somebody, a Christmas tree," said traveler Steve Giles.
There are no immediate plans to display a menorah, but the rabbi offered to give the airport an electric one to use.
