LEESBURG, VA -- MSNBC reports a skeleton Santa Clause hanging on a cross has caused much controversy this holiday season.

Local citizens decided on ten holiday displays to hang outside the city’s courthouse the December. 

However, the scene of a skeleton Santa hanging from a cross outraged some residents.  Some residents took it down.  It was put back up, only for a woman to knock off its head the next day. 

MSNBC says that after the two incidents of vandalism, the mother and teen took the display down for good.
