Christmas Displays Being Looted

Hostility to Religion or Profit Motive?
Just as pumpkins are smashed at Halloween, a number of Nativity scenes fall victim to pranksters every year. But this year the number being vandalized or stolen appears to be higher than usual. Some see the rash of stolen Christ figures as indicative of hostility toward Christmas or Christianity. Other times the incidents seem purely hostile. A couple saw their Christmas decorations, including their Nativity scene, attacked five times in seven days, at least once by a carload of bat-wielding boys.
