I'm over here on the Left Coast in year round sunshine, and we have our share of nutcases, too, so you may be indeed on to something, Red.
I live in a small town, though, that is unincorporated, so we have horses, etc., around here. And Christmas lights out the wazoo. There's a house up on the mountain that has a huge star that must be up on a pole. They turn it on the day after Thanksgiving every year. It's really cool. I hope they know how much they've improved the holidays for everyone (for miles) that can see it.
We don't have a Santa hung in effigy, though. It would have been splashed all over the local news if we had. Our locals do love that sort of negative hyperbole.
I tried to work up some kind of reaction to the Santa effigy thing and just couldn't. Totally neutral on the whole thing. Oh. With one exception. Points given for somebody realizing what symbolic speech is and First Ammedment protection.
