I Have Met Scrooge And He Is Us

From our friends in The UK
Children should be protected from "terrifying" Father Christmas, shielded from "alarming" pantomimes and encouraged not to send wasteful Christmas cards, a Government website has advised teachers.

When arranging Christmas parties in schools, teachers should also avoid arranging games of a competitive nature so that no child feels they have "underperformed", the website said.
This pile of politically correct nonesense can be found on something called "Teachernet" which was developed by Britain's Department of Education.

Makes you long for a religiously ambiguous Christmas doesn't it? This is no "holiday" at all.

This puts me in mind of how joyous it is to be a Christian. There truly is so much wrong in the world. Whether its the nonesense they are worried about here, or something else, there is always something wrong and there is always a source of worry. But we, as beievers, are freed of that worry and concern.

He whose birth we celebrate this season has relieved us of those burdens. What freedom there is in that fact. What joy there is in knowing that He will prevail.

I wish for my PC friends the joy and freedom that comes with a true understanding of what we celebrate this Christmas.
