The only sympathy from me is that the home owner should have been allowed to
do what he wanted on his own place.
I don't celebrate Xmass as a religious holiday the traditional nativity scene is all wrong anyway, historically speaking.
Jesus would have been about 2 yrs. old when the magi visited, he was likely born in a cave, when the magi came the Bible says he lived in a house not a barn, etc., etc.
There is argument that the magi were inspired by satan, not god, speculation or provable I'm not sure.
In England Cromwell abolished Xmass celebrations. Link.
Oliver Cromwell - Faq 4
Reason being that Xmass was seen as a Roman Catholic holday which was dislike by the new
Church of England.
If I'm wrong please point it out.
