apnews.myway.com — CHICAGO (AP) - A public Christmas festival is no place for the Christmas story, the city says. Officials have asked organizers of a downtown Christmas festival, the German Christkindlmarket, to reconsider using a movie studio as a sponsor because it is worried ads for its film "The Nativity Story" might offend non-Christians."Free Country"?

There is already a nativity on the plaza (along with a minorah (sp?) and a crescent). The market is city sponsored and should therefore avoid promoting any particular religion (which the thing is christmas based it pretty much already is, but tis the season).So just let it go...

No, not fear of christianity, just tired of the silly fantasy inserting itself everywhere.
