'Nativity' Booted From Ill. Holiday Fair
I agree with Bong. I'm not Christian and don't believe in God, Jesus, Allah, the tooth fairy, or the Easter Bunny (all equally unbelievable in my book), but don't have a problem with a public nativity scene or with saying "Merry Christmas" instead of "Happy Holidays". I see these things as part tradition and part representation of what I consider the true meaning of Christmas. As Bong put it " peace, love, family, giving gifts to people you love, watching your kids on chrstmas morning.." .

Seems to me the people who make such a fuss about this type of thing probably have little that is precious in their life, so they decide to try and ruin what is precious in others lives. Sad.
