It started early this year - but the War on Christmas has begun





New Jersey school bans religious Christmas music

The angels will not be allowed to hark their herald nor will the little Lord Jesus sleep on the hay after a New Jersey school district announced a ban on all religious Christmas music.

Constance Bauer, the superintendent of the Bordentown Regional School District, posted a message online stating someone had been questioning recent musical selections for the elementary school Christmas concerts.

Pardon me, the school district calls them “winter” concerts.

My guess is that a perpetually offended left-winger became unglued when they heard that little boys and girls might be pa rum pum pum pum.
“Religious music should not be part of the elementary program(s),” Supt. Scrooge wrote in her anti-Christmas screed.

So songs about Frosty, Rudolph and mommy making out with Santa Claus are fine, but harmonizing about round yon virgin will get you put on the naughty list.

“It remains the District’s mission to celebrate the rich and wonderful diversity of our children and community and hope that the joy shared through our numerous winter programs will continue to be (a) cherished part of your traditions,” she concluded.

Alliance Defending Freedom, a legal firm specializing in religious liberty cases, fired off a letter to the New Jersey grinches - reminding them that it’s perfectly constitutional to sing “Joy to the World.”

and Hallmark is felling the wrath of the PC crowd





Hallmark, the Kansas City greeting card company, edited the lyrics of "Deck the Halls" on one of its 2013 ornaments to omit the word 'gay' and has received criticism on its Facebook page that puts the company in an unfamiliar position of defending a product.

The original carol verse goes: "Don we now our gay apparel." But Hallmark's version, which appears on a Christmas ornament (http://www.hallmark.com/products/general/keepsake-ornaments/holiday-sweater-1295QXG1585_DK/)http://global.fncstatic.com/static/v/all/img/external-link.png designed as an ugly Christmas sweater goes: "Don we now our FUN apparel."

The company's Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/HALLMARK)http://global.fncstatic.com/static/v/all/img/external-link.png has received posts criticizing the decision to change the lyric. One post read, "Hallmark is insinuating that gay people dress differently than anyone else. If I were gay, I would be more upset with that."

A woman who described herself as a Gold Crown Rewards member, posted that by changing the lyric, the company made an unnecessary political statement.

The ornament, which was reportedly (http://www.kctv5.com/story/23834107/hallmark-nixes-gay-from-christmas-carol)http://global.fncstatic.com/static/v/all/img/external-link.png designed by Matt Johnson, a keepsake artist, was described on Hallmark's website as an ornament that can "make your tree's outfit complete."

"With its catchy phrase, Don we now our FUN apparel! everyone will be in on the joke," the website's description reads.

The company, which is more known for apolitical greeting cards wishing a boss a happy retirement, issued a statement to media outlets explaining the history of the song dating back to the 1880s, a time "when "gay" meant festive or merry."
