And parents, if you have done so already, take in mind that not all kids and families have.

Murrayville Principal Julie Duclos said the school decided to pull the song after the parent complained “to make sure that we were actually paying attention to everybody’s interest, that we were not choosing somebody’s interest over another.

Isn’t that exactly what they did? Forgive me if I am mistaken, but when ONE parent of a child who more than likely had not a damn thing to say against Rudolph being sung, decides to whine and complain that Christmas might just have religious overtones, while at the same time attempting to get a Hannukah song instilled, and demands that said song be removed, SUCCESSFULLY, did the school NOT act in such a way as to choose one person’s interest over the VAST majority?

Could somebody PLEASE tell me where it is stated in this country that if you do not like something or are offended by something or WHATEVER, that your and ONLY your views are to be honored?

When are these school and work officials going to sprout a pair and tell these whiny little Liberal troublemakers to STFU and just not attend if it bothers them so much, that Christmas is a long standing tradition in this country and as such it will be celebrated and honored.

As it is, my daughters no longer have Halloween parties, they have Harvest Festivals…on Halloween. They are not allowed to wear their costumes, as it could offend someone, but are encouraged to dress like “Country Bumpkins”. (Yes, that is the EXACT term used, because that couldn’t POSSIBLY offend someone.)

On the 19th I will be volunteering my help with a snowball race at my daughter’s Winter Celebration…for they are no longer allowed to have a “Christmas Party”. Somewhere, someone in the California School System whined that Christmas, the holiday that promotes “Peace on Earth” and “Goodwill Towards Men”, was offensive and wrong. Therefore, it is now a Pagan celebration.

And sure enough, there will be the normal amount of Liberal Democrat symbols who will claim that there is no attack on Christmas or Christianity, all the while backing up that claim with anti-Christmas/Christian rhettoric in nearly every one of their postings or conversations, but the evidence is everywhere you look.

I, for one, am fed up with it. I wish they would bring back all the decorations in ciies, towns, malls etc. I wish they would go back to spending time and energy to make things look beautiful this time of year.

Whether you believe in Jesus or not, Christmas is, by far, the most joyous, wonderful and beautiful holiday out of any and all holidays celebrated anywhere at anytime. No other has so much beauty and goodness associated with it where people actually do go out and become better people and practice “It is better to give than receive” and anyone who has issue, is offended by or bothered by this holiday has something very, fundamentally wrong and disturbing about their very being.

As I gazed into the sun… The rays burned my eyes. How like a turtle is the sun… (Happy happy happy. Everybody’s happy.)

Sheesh I wish some people would grow up!

The objecting parent was upset about the words “Christmas” and “Santa” in the song, feeling that they carried religious overtones.

She needs to get a life…she could put up with worse people like a Nazi or misunderstood Jihadis.

I’m thinking she was one of the extras in “American Carol” during the scene when a Christian gets on a bus and her presence is treated like she is a terrifying jihadi…

Here’s a secret A lot of the liturgy and lyrics used in Christian services come from Jewish sources. Jewish Psalms? Used every Sunday in the liturgy. And quite a few Christian hymns use Jewish Psalms for lyrics, either directly or by inspiration.

So who is it who has issues here?

Not me! I can and will sing “Hava Nagila” with as much fervor and gusto as “Unto Us A Child Is Born”

Even more so if there’s a liberal atheist or arrogant Arab around to annoy.
