Here's a new one from the absurdity files:
A Colorado woman is facing some stiff fines from her homeowners association for displaying a Christmas wreath in the shape of a peace sign.
According to a story by the Associated Press, the homeowners association has threatened to fine her "$25 a day until she removes a Christmas wreath with a peace sign that some say is an anti-Iraq war protest or a symbol of Satan."
A symbol of Satan???!!!
The story goes on to say that "Lisa Jensen said she wasn't thinking of the war when she hung the wreath. She said, 'Peace is way bigger than not being at war. This is a spiritual thing.'"
Well, yeah. And isn't the Christmas season supposed to be all about "peace on earth, and good will to men"?
For the full story, including a picture of the wreath (which is actually quite beautiful), click here.

UPDATE: Good news! An hour after I originally posted this, I learned that the homeowners association has approved the wreath and withdrawn all related fines. [Read more.]
