You’ve got your basic small town. Check.

You’ve got Christmas. Check.

The town gets busy putting up Christmas lights in the town square and Christmas decorations. Check.

And then the evil mayor steps in and demands the nativity be taken down lest villages contract secondhand Jesus vibes.

The town comes together. Two oddly middle aged single people fall in love and fight the evil mayor and stand up for the baby Jesus.

OK. Maybe this is a bit more Great American Family than Hallmark. But still…

And then at the end maybe the mayor either converts to Christianity or he slips and falls on ice and everyone laughs at him.

Man, this thing writes itself!!!

You get Hallmark but ripped from the headlines!!! A small South Carolina town committee refused to remove a Nativity scene from a market parking lot after the mayor ordered it taken down from public property.

But Fox News is reporting that a small town is standing up for a nativity set. Good for them. I just can’t believe that stupid politicians are still acting stupidly. How many Supreme Court rulings do we need, anyway?

Around Thanksgiving, Kimberly Byrd, head of the Mullins Beautification Committee in Mullins, South Carolina, said her small team decided to decorate the city’s new marketplace area for its first Christmas season “like a Hallmark movie,” hoping to draw more customers to the downtown area.

The group spent about two weeks placing decorations they paid for out of their own pockets, including a snowman, wreaths, lights, Santa Claus and a small 3-by-4-foot Nativity scene. Byrd said she later received a text from Mayor Miko Pickett asking her to remove the Nativity scene, citing concerns about residents of other faiths and beliefs in the community.

Byrd said the mayor’s request stunned her.

Our small town, we have a church on every corner,” Byrd told Fox News Digital. “It’s a faith-based community in the Bible Belt. I’ve been here 53 years of my life and never heard of anything like this happening here.”

Byrd said she received support from some city council members to keep the display in place and decided to take a stand by vowing to keep the Nativity scene where it was.

“Christ is why we celebrate Christmas,” Byrd said. “I really thought she would probably change her mind or come back and say, ‘I’m sorry, I made a mistake. Let’s have a meeting about this,’ but nothing.”
