From the Liberty Counsel's web site:

A PUBLICLY SPONSORED NATIVITY SCENE ON PUBLIC PROPERTY IS CONSTITUTIONAL IF THE DISPLAY ALSO CONTAINS A SECULAR SYMBOL OF THE HOLIDAY

In other words, the government may publicly display Mary, Joseph and Jesus so long as part of the display includes a secular symbol such as Santa Claus.

PRIVATELY SPONSORED NATIVITY SCENES THAT ARE ERECTED BY PRIVATE CITIZENS OR GROUPS IN A PUBLIC AREA ARE CONSTITUTIONAL WITHOUT SECULAR SYMBOLS

“We are resolved to stop ‘grinches’ from stealing Christmas. This Nation was founded by people who sought to freely exercise their religious liberty. We have no intention of letting these liberties be chilled every Christmas season by uninformed or hostile government officials.” - Mathew Staver, Esq. Founder and Chairman of Liberty Counsel.

Sell the “spot” to a conservative business to put the display up and they can have a sign saying something like “Nativity display sponsored by: Al’s Bar and Grill”

Save the city money, get some advertising space for a conservative business and tell the whiny atheist to go pound sand.

So, have a Nativity scene guarded 24/7 by guys in Santa suits with AR-15's.
