It’s a bleeping Christmas story. Why can’t one say Gd?
When my kids were in school, I discovered that the world was rapidly changing.
One day, I asked the kids when Christmas vacation started...I got blank stares in response. A little more prying, and they say “Oh, you mean winter break”.
Curious, I went to the school’s online calendar. Sure enough, the word Christmas had been wiped off. This makes even less sense, when one considers Christmas is a federal holiday.
Anyway, I wouldn’t assume the students (or parents) necessarily ‘get’ that this is a Christmas story, as Christmas has been relegated to a roll of minor sideshow, during ‘Winter Break’.
Out of curiosity, I just revisited the calendar. Its always informative.
