Nativity Excommunicated
Check out the MYWAY news article from Chicago linked in the title.
The celebration of Christmas cannot be marred by the theme of the nativity? Does that make sense? Does your office buy a birthday cake for your birthday then exclude you from the party? Is it MLK day without MLK- who was a minister so isn't that religious? Is Saint Patricks day next (hey, he's a saint and that's Catholic) because the color green offends non-catholics who are forced to think about some Catholic guy?
I'll step back into history and recognize that December 25th was originally a pagan holiday that the council of Nicea set as Christ's birthday...
I'll stop there since most people glaze over that far into a history lesson. Let's just end with the absense of common sense is beginning to make me sick. For those of you who really get it, I wish you a Merry Christmas.
