    Friends of mine have a film that takes place on TX about the burning of a nativity; This is almost like watching it play in advance. My response, though, is that a nativity scene makes the most sense to commemorate the birth of Jesus Christ. If someone chooses not to celebrate, that is their choice. However, it is unrealistic to expect complete freedom FROM religion in a public setting. While they are not federally recognized holidays, I do not object to others displaying symbols of their faith during this season.

    The furor over the Nativity in Athens, TX has much in common with a book and film about to be released. The fictionalized events take place in a nearby TX town. http://cindynavarro.blogspot.com/2011/12/democrat…
