The grounds committee for the Loudoun County Courthouse has banned all decorations, saying requests for displays year-round have become unmanageable.
A petition has been circulating to bring the decorations back, however. The Loudoun County Board of Supervisors will discuss the ban at a meeting Monday evening.
The Rotary Club of Leesburg has put a Christmas tree on the grounds of the courthouse for almost 50 years.

Every city around the United States has Xmas decorations of all sorts. All streets downtown are even decorated and that is fine, but come some Yidden that want a Chanuka Menora, oh then it is a problem of church & state. So they would rather forgo their decorations abi nisht to have JEWISH Symbol.
