Let's call it the German 'Holiday' Village | Philadelphia Daily News | 11/30/2010

Let's call it the German 'Holiday' Village | Philadelphia Daily News | 11/30/2010: "It turns out that the letters spelling 'Christmas' were removed yesterday afternoon from the archways on the north and west sides of the plaza, at the request of Managing Director Richard Negrin. They will be replaced with the word 'Holiday.'

City spokesman Mark McDonald said Negrin asked for the change after the city received complaints from workers and residents.

'As a city of great diversity, one shouldn't be surprised that there's a difference of views when it comes to symbols and words,' McDonald said.
