Does anyone do a "broadcast from Santa" on any of the HF ham bands that I
could tune into for my children to hear on Christmas Eve? I seem to recall
reading something about this in past years. Sure would be fun, and a great
way to spark the young'uns interest in radio!

It's probably been viewed a politically incorrect, due to offending illegal
aliens in our country, therefore not allowed under the New World Order!

Of course I'm joking, but with what I've been hearing on the news, it
wouldn't surprise me! A local school here in Michigan, had their school
band playing Christmas songs. Just music, no singing. Two parents
complained that they were offended, because they could hear the words in
their heads! If they were hearing the words in their head, I think the
parents should have been committed. But NO!!!! The band was ordered to
stop playing Christmas music, permanently!

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.

I was born in britain i am prowd to be british.
what gets my going. is if i was to go to another country i would have to
abide by that country,s laws and there ways.

I wasnt aware that we were prohobited from celebrating our culture as we
have done for years, this christmas was like any other (apart from
working christmas day and boxing day) I did not feel restricted.

I celebrated it as I have done every other christmas I can remember, in
the company of family and friends and with copious amounts of alcohol ;-)


regards

happy christmas & a merry new year to you all
