[Ol' Sox]

After all the disturbing tales of Christmas being tossed on the rubbish heap, please let me lift up my town and brag a bit. Norwalk is a working man's town in blue Connecticut, diverse both racially and economically. I went to my son's middle school Winter Concert last night, eager to see and hear him perform, and curious to see if the perpetually offended had infiltrated and banned Christmas music.

There were:
Four traditional CHRISTmas pieces
Two traditional Jewish folk songs
Three Winter Holiday-esque pieces (including "Frosty's Caribbean Holiday"
an "African Noel" with the newly formed drum ensemble
and
"Sakura", a Japanese piece for strings.

Inclusive and respectful of any and all, just as was intended. Not much room for complaint because the program was as diverse as the student body, and any complainers would be outed as bigots. I really love my town.

Very nice. If ANYONE still complains after that program said complainer will be castigated in no time flat.
