Every year I hear people expressing concern about not being able to put up manger scenes on public property, never hearing Christmas carols in the malls anymore, and not being allowed to wish people a “Merry Christmas”. And every year I see manger scenes on public property, hear Christmas carols in the malls, and find people wishing others a “Merry Christmas” everywhere I go. So, what’s up?
- · Maybe it’s all a clever campaign by “secular humanists” to create the impression that Christians are just a bunch of annoying whiners.
- · Perhaps it’s all being imported from places like Tennessee and the Isle of Man, where Christmas really has been outlawed. I checked this out on Snopes and it really is true. Trust me.
- · Possibly it’s all just a subtle Christian campaign to prevent these things from actually happening; what the American military calls “anticipatory retaliation”. – Our side has never actually “started” a war you know. We have initiated a few that the other side started, of course, but only just before they started it.
- · Maybe all of the above.
But, whatever’s going on, it seems to be working, so...
write letters to the editor!
Email your MP and MLA!
call all the talk shows, and let everyone know...
“We’re not going to take it anymore!!!”
Ahhh... remember the good old days when we could just hold an Inquisition. Or, better yet, hire the Spanish to hold one.
But, then again... could it be the six litres of egg-nog, three bushels of Poppy Cock, and four kilograms of Christmas baking we’ve consumed over the past ten days? Or maybe these Santa hats are just a little too tight.
Anyway... drop me a note in the New Year and let me know how the campaign turned out. I’m going back to bed.
See you in 2011.
