Christmas trees are back at Sea-Tac. The big trees that the Port of Seattle took down aren't back, but airline workers put up their own trees at their ticketing counters. MSNBC reports:
SEATAC, Wash. - Airline workers at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport took the holidays into their own hands Monday, decorating ticketing counters with miniature Christmas trees after officials decided to remove all of the trees from the main terminal's public spaces.
The airport's director, Mark Reis, didn't mind the merry rebellion one bit.
"The passengers and the meeters and greeters are all happy about it," he said. "They provide a festive spirit."
...
The airlines lease space for ticket counters from the airport, and can display trees there if they want, he added.
Taking trees into their own hands
Stefania Cottriel and other customer-service agents with Frontier Airlines took advantage of that Monday morning, pooling their money to buy four 1-foot-tall Christmas trees. Atop a Delta counter, workers put up a tree several feet tall.
Hooray for ordinary people!
Maybe next year the Port of Seattle will have a menorah. After this mess, it's the least they can do.
