In a continuation of the annual tradition, US military bases are beginning to erect “holiday displays” around the world.  Often, though not always, they consist of a Christmas tree (recognizing Christmas, for those who might not get the connection) and possibly a Menorah (for Hanukkah).  In some cases, the tree is a “holiday tree,” though the Menorah has yet to be dubbed a “holiday candelabra.”

Iwakuni performed its “holiday tree lighting” just prior to Thanksgiving, though the article acknowledges it is, in fact, a Christmas tree.  Many military bases are performing the ceremonies this weekend, including the Dyess AFB Christmas tree and Menorah, and what a local paper called the Fort Bragg “holiday tree and Menorah” lighting, though Fort Bragg announced its annual Christmas tree lighting.
