Then we had another incident, where a school was putting on a play. They

had different stage setups, for Kwanza, Muslims, etc. One parent had
built a beautiful manger scene, with baby Jesus. Again, a few parents in
the audience were offended, and ONLY the manger scene had to be removed!
What a bunch of crap!!!


Had the same thing happen in Marysville (north of Everett Washington). Seems
some school official didn't want the kids
singing Christmas carols because they would be deemed too offensive.

Then there's the on going debate about the green tree being a Holiday Tree
in one part of Seattle.

Never heard much of this Kwanzaa thing. Up here in Canada it's Hanukkah and
Christmas mostly, with Dhawhali
thrown in (a winter celebration for those of the Sikh faith that's been
happening for over 600 years

What is Kwanzaa?

Then on the 26th, its Boxing Day, where everyone goes to the Shopping Maul.

Happy Christmas to everyone.
