I think he was being silly. But it sounds as if he doesn't recognize the
menorah as a religious item, since what he objected to was the sole really
religious Christian item, not the rest.

Perhaps if he had discussed his concerns with you instead of making an edict
you could have found some way to address the issue. Like using a Christmas
tree and a dreidel instead of a Madonna and a menorah, since the former are
less overtly religious.
