I don't feel like we need to add a menorah, Kwanzaa thingy, etc... to every town square and building just to be "fair" and I actively resent people who try and stamp out traditional displays altogether as if that is somehow the moral high ground.
Look at the pretty lights, feel a little holiday cheer and get the F' over it.
Note: Just in case you were wondering, Christian symbolism is not exactly my cup of tea, as has been discussed previously I'm more of an Apathyst. Still I don't see the need to rain on the general holiday parade and I do like pretty lights and santa hats.
