Bah, humbug indeed…
While most Americans are trying to find some peace and enjoyment in this Christmas season, a few of the Grinch persuasion do their damnedest to prevent it. One woman objects to the Salvation Army’s bell ringers. While most of us are trying to figure out how to pay for a bit of cheer, some parents are claiming that Christmas carols are a form of bullying, and others are terrified of allowing their children to see “A Charlie Brown Christmas” being screened at a church.
Some want to steal the trappings in lieu of purchasing their own, some steal for profit, and others deny our troops care packages. At least one woman is using the season for payback, now legally permitted. A Virginia town shut down a Christmas tree giveaway for violation of “retail” regulations, and Rhode Island’s governor, once a Republican, but never much of one, has declared that it ‘s a “holiday tree”, and there is no tradition in calling it a Christmas tree.
And MSM still insists there is no war on Christmas, and by inference, no war on Christians or Christianity.
