Description
We are asked to declare unconstitutional on its face a county ordinance outlawing the sale of alcohol on "Christmas day and Christmas night." Appellants contend that the ordinance violates constitutional prohibitions against the establishment of religion. We conclude that Christmas, notwithstanding its deep religious significance for many, also has secular traditions which local government is free to acknowledge, without offending the constitutions either of Florida or of the United States. We affirm the order denying plaintiffs motion for temporary injunction, and uphold the ordinance.
