I guess they could be called a seasonal display but you can only keep those up for 30 days. At the end of the day, if you get cited you can either take down the white cross or be fined - that is pretty much black and white.
again i don't agree but i do concede it would be a difficult battle and quite costly. Freedom of speech and religious beliefs are a very sharp razor, again goes to deep pockets!
