 Festivus Pole To Join Green Bay Nativity Scene? Author: Malavika Jagannathan Source: Gannett Wisconsin Newspapers Title: FESTIVUS POLE TO JOIN GREEN BAY NATIVITY SCENE? Frank Costanza would be proud, perhaps even a little misty-eyed. In an homage to Jerry Stiller's character on "Seinfeld" — often credited for bringing the Festivus holiday to the rest of us — Sean Ryan of Allouez on Saturday asked Mayor Jim Schmitt for permission to display a Festivus pole on the overhang at the northwest entrance to City Hall. But it's unlikely that the six-foot undecorated aluminum pole at the heart of the semi-fictitious holiday will stand next to the Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus in City Council President Chad Fradette's nativity display. "If we're going to approve things, it needs to be a religion — this is just pop culture," Schmitt said Saturday. "This is kind of making a laughing matter of something that's rather serious." Both Fradette and Schmitt opened the display to other religions, and at least seven requests have been made to date. On Friday, an Appleton man added a Wiccan wreath to the Christmas manger scene. | |

bigcat (peoria, Illinois) - Email Me this entire religious matter is a laughing one. If it weren't for the fact that they take themselves so seriously, they wouldn't be nearly as humiliating as they are to the rest of us. |

Owlfeather (Battle Ground, Washington) - Email Me Festivus? Really? As any thinking human knows, He came down from on high and touched us with His Noodley Appendage. Pastafarians KNOW the one true religion. FSM ROX!! Owlfeather |
