The Mayor of Edmonton is Jewish and city hall is still decorated for Christmas and children from various elementary schools go to city hall to perform their Christmas themed songs ... I don't see the mayor of this city getting all offended over it.

The Calgary Hebrew School Chior performed Hanukah songs in winter festival concerts.
Has anyone asked the Mayor to look into including a chanukiah in City hall displays?
Yes, for most people this is an inconsiquential issue dealing with items that are generally just percieved as there and having little to no impact as we walk on by.
But just because we do not care should it be dismissed as incinsequential.
(again, the lawsuit thing is extreme)
