It's that time of the year when we all celebrate XXXXXXXXX. Being a public school teacher the last 17 years I've seen the change. When I began teaching in 1991 we had Christmas parties and the student or two who didn't celebrate either had a day off or just put up with it. Now, of course, we can't have any party because someone somewhere might be offended no matter what the party may be for. It's really ok with me because what's the point of celebrating some generic holiday I don't believe in?
Today is a special day. It's XXXXXXXXXXX, as you all know, so we need to sing special songs, make decorations, do a special dance, and remember the importance of this new tradition. The school, luckily for us, is the state missionary outreach where we get all of our needs met. So please remember to visit the clinic, save the planet, conserve, recycle, feed the poor (or more likely, get fed), and don't forget to remind your parents to vote in the bond election to increase the money for all the good things we do.
But I will choose to celebrate the day that God did the one thing He could to make make us acceptable, bring His Son into the world to become the payment for our sins .... CHRISTMAS.
