While I can appreciate the poem for its literary value, the subject matter is offensive to me, and the reading of this poem to the children imposed values upon me which are against my deeply held religious beliefs. I could not in good conscience present the notion of Santa Claus as a truth to the children, and stated so. Gee, do I detect a serious issue of liberal narcissism here?
Why is this not surprising? Why is it that whenever somthing good is celebrated, a minion like this has to spew bile all over it?
This witch is evil.
