In North Carolina the Christmas song “Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer” was temporarily banned from being sung by children at a Christmas concert. Why? Apparently a parent complained that the song contained the words “Christmas” and “Santa,” words which she believes carry religious overtones and finds offensive.
Apparently Santa and Rudolph are the new symbols of the Christmas Story. No longer are Shepherds, sheep and angels symbols of the Story of Christmas. I am not surprised that this has happened for even in the church house the Christmas tree is of more improtance than the Christmas Star, that Star being the Lord Jesus Christ who came to earth, born of a virgin, to save us from sin and death. No longer is the Heralding angels announcing the birth of a King the focal point for they have been replaced with advertisements and parades heralding the arrival of Santa Clause.
If this is not a commentary on the state of our culture than I do not know what is. Perhaps it is time the church stop celebrating Christmas and start celebrating the life of Christ. What say you?

Santa Faces New Challenges this year
You got to love this cartoon because it speaks volumes to what children learn from watching us adults each day. What are we teaching our children anyway?
It is no longer naughty or nice but who has the biggest sob story to tell to receive their Christmas gift. Corporate America has become like little children sitting on the knee of Congress giving Santa Barney their wish list.
I do not know about you but many things I asked Santa for in my young life I never received. Perhaps Santa Barney could learn to say no?

Underage Strip Performance deemed ‘artistic’
|
An Iowa county judge has ruled that a nude dance by an underage girl at a strip club is an Another example of a society adrift. A 17 yr old girl strips in a BAR serving alcohol and judge finds nothing ‘illegal’ about this?
After reading this story I have to sit here and wonder what the heck happened to common sense and decency and to think there are actually people who do not see the harm this type of behavior has on our society.
This one certainly belongs in the Cuckoo’s nest.
