It has made many people upset that folks are taking Jesus' name out of the season. We must remember that He wasn't actually born during this time of the year and that it was some of our predecessors who decided to celebrate Christ's birthday on what was actually a time of pagan festival.
I don't believe that what we call the day is the issue to address. If we want to celebrate the day properly we should, GET ALONG AND LOVE ONE ANOTHER. Now, having said that let us address another relevant part of this discussion.
If it bothers you that the town in which you live doesn't allow a scene depicting Christ's birth, then just get rid of a couple of Santa's and snowmen and put in a small Nativity scene on your own front lawn. If all believers did that there wouldn't be any need for such a scene on the town square because there would be many of them all around town.
