Santa display unpatriotic? City rethinks tradition.
In Willoughby Ohio, a Santa Claus on a flagpole has citizens rethinking the tradition. Every year they put up the display, but this year they've realized that the flagpole should have a flag. The flagpole is the tallest flagpole in the town and sits in the very middle. Therefor it is the most important to have a flag. People beleive that this is unpatriotic and must be fixed. The Citizens of this town have givin many complaints to city leaders. To resolve this conflict they will be removing the santa clause from the flagpole in the future.
I agree with the citizens of this town. To me it is unpatriotic to have the tallest most important flagpole have no flag. The Santa Claus could be put somewhere else, but the flag shouldnt. I think that the people of this area should of noticed earlier because it would be easier to deal with. Now they can not change it because its to far into the season.

It truly is sad that people even have to debate this. You were right, it is a flag and that's where the flag should fly. It is ironic thought that Santa is being used in place of the flag though.
