This is the year Christmas died as a public event in the United States.

Truth.

How many females are in your wife and why is it funny?

The truth about Christmas is for years we complained about Christmas becoming more and more commercialized. Now we see that can’t hold the truth. Truth is that Christmas is a celebration of the Soul and our connection we have with Christ. Libs or BLM or Obama can’t take that away from Christians.

Our public elementary school had almost a nonexistent Christmas celebration this year. Just a half an hour sing a long of government approved songs. We used to have a giving tree that helped less fortunate kids this time of year - no more. Very sad too since it was the highlight of the holiday season for us.

It certainly isn’t what it was 30 year ago.

But then again, maybe this will shake out a lot of the fluff and cheese that it has drowned in over the past 60 years.

I’ll gladly take the Christmas celebrations of 120 years ago.
