Why does the City of Poulsbo substitute a stone sculpture of a horned-helmeted, sword-bearing warrior male for a nativity scene with the baby Jesus?

The big whoop-dee-doo over Christmas lights at the horned Viking swordbearer seems so bizarre.

Viking warriors were best known as invaders and pillagers in their heyday. How does celebrating a stone, sword-bearing male Viking equate to the birth of Jesus Christ? I mean, really.

That lighting thing by the City of Poulsbo at the horned Viking is an insult to Jesus Christ and Christianity. Whose twisted thinking conjured up that event? It’s not about honoring Jesus Christ.
