Christmas is a national holiday, and is celebrated by 96% of Americans (80% of Americans are Christians).
Nativity Scenes is the main reason for Christmas, and should be put in public places.
Atheists have constantly fought to remove everything that has to do with religion, and forced their non-belief in our throats, just like the politicians have done in Soviet Union, and today in Cuba, North Korea, parts of China, etc.
except that before Christmas, it was the Winter Solstice which was celebrated.
The Christians just hijacked this festival to suit their own ends, in which case how would you feel about Pagan symbolism being represented in public parks and schools instead?

Winter Solstice is celebrated on Dec 20/21 (The day when the daylight is shortest in northern hemisphere), and has nothing to do with Christmas, which is celebrated by most Christians in Dec 25 due to the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Non-Christians tries to abolish Christmas because they are Anti-Christians.
how would the Christians feel if the local council were to set up a Pagan display in a public park?
I'm sure they would be chomping at the bit.......
If Pegans were the majority of the US population, if they had a national holiday, then we would have absolutely no issue.
We have no issue putting up Menorah in public places, even though Jews are only 2% of the US population, and their holidays are not national like Christian holidays are.
