Three sentences.
Bud Williams, city councilor in Springfield, Mass., stood in the court square earlier this week and participated in a holiday tradition.
“Jesus is the reason for the season,” Williams said at a Tuesday ceremony, according to MassLive.com.
His remarks wouldn’t really be notable, except that Williams was speaking at a menorah lighting ceremony, to mark the beginning of Hanukkah.
Sarah Larimer of the Washington Post tries to explain those sentences for us. Nor do we envy her the task.
