NEW HAVEN, CT – In an effort to recognize the diverse traditions of the holiday season, the City has installed a Festivus pole in the Market Street square. A dedication ceremony is scheduled for Saturday afternoon. With the addition of this new holiday centerpiece, the square is now thought to be the most diverse public display of late fall holiday symbols in the country.
“We’re glad that we can please so many different people.” said Phyllis Strauttman, Executive Director of the Mayor’s Religious and Ethnic Tolerance Initiative. “These Festivus people seem like a lot of fun.”
The problem with the picture is the pole is decorated. A true follower of Festivus would not allow it to happen. *
