What is the name of the…
What is the name of the holiday that these activities are associated with? Is it the holiday that is a federal, state, and local holiday named Christmas (and all of you will certainly not be working that day), but you won't mention the name? Will you also have in FRONT of the La Paz nativity display this year, another Bahai display or will it be the psychic one this year, although the three other displays never have anything blocking their displays!
