Huckleberries: Xmas cease-fire holds

Seems someone called a cease-fire in the Hayden Conflict on Christmas starring Holiday Cheermeister Jeremy Morris and his covenant-minded, grumpy neighbors. Morris staged his annual Christmas light-a-palooza show Dec. 14-18 with 10 more miles of lights, a camel, goats and “27 professional, costumed-designed Bible characters” (according to Jeremy’s Facebook wall), all without threat of suit or countersuit. All with relatively little media attention … Still, Hayden’s Clark Griswold wasn’t happy that the Coeur d’Alene Press left his annual extravaganza off its “holiday lights” list. The omission landed Editor Mike Patrick and the Coeur d’Alene Press on Jeremy’s “naughty list.” Facebooked Jeremy: “Apparently, outspoken conservatives are not permitted to be on their list” … And that dials down the peace and goodwill ending for this first round of Huckleberries this Christmas morn/DFO, Sunday, Dec. 25, 2016, Huckleberries print.
