You know, the Travis air force base thought it would be hilarious to put a nativity scene. But then they got reminded of those Jews and ended up placing other symbols as well.

A single atheist group thought "ok, it seems everybody is getting a chance to put their symbols there. So they asked to put a sign. It is one of those signs that push the atheists' beliefs on everyone and Mock Christians through the use of text.

Of course this sort of ultra preachy message that advertises the atheists as people that want other people to have safe a holiday season is way too blasphemous. So somebody tried to boycott it.
At the end though , The Christian prosecution has to end, and thus a very tolerant Christian church got tired of having the nativity scene displayed so close to dirty Jews and Atheist decorations. Apparently, it seems that for these Christians, the nativity scene is not just a baby in diapers but a religious symbol of great importance. Thus they have asked the nativity scene to be prominently displayed inside the base's chapel so that the base clarifies that it is not just another decoration like the others buy the ultimate symbol of faith. Sure why not.

Yes, what day do pastafarians celebrate? I'd imagine it would be the summer and winter solstice. After all, knowing when to harvest your flying spaghetti monster is just as important as knowing when to plant your baby spaghetti monster.

Around the time of Christmas, Hanukkah, and Kwanzaa, Pastafarians celebrate a vaguely defined holiday named "Holiday". Holiday does not take place on "a specific date so much as it is the Holiday season, itself". Because Pastafarians "reject dogma and formalism", there are no specific requirements for Holiday. Pastafarians celebrate Holiday however they please. Some web forums also mention "Pastover" as a parody of Passover, and "Ramendan" as a parody of Ramadan.
