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

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.
So accompany it with a giant snowflake and you’re fine
