Ontario school cancels Christmas concert

[Nuggler]

Usually a Christmas concert is made up of choirs, carols, kids dressed as angels, a do dad with the virgin Mary, Joe, and the Kid. Very few I've been to (FREAKIN LOTS), even mention Santa etc.

So, tough nuts. The parents are going to roll over, the muzzies et al will be more than happy.

I'd organize some parents and keep the kids from participating in the 'non denom' thingy. fukkem. And raise sh it with the school board, and otherwise be nasty and pissy about no Christmas concert. Go to a school board meeting and throw eggs and stuff.

Screw the "recent immigrants" and their fukkin feelings.

..............just sayin:canada:

merry Christmas.

I don't. I'd work those days if the place was open. Since i''ve been of age I've always avoided it in all forms.

Xmas was ruined for me by family. Too many bad memories.

They should be celebrating Festivus, now there's a holiday worth celebrating.

I'm not a particularly religious person, but Christmas is a time my family comes together.

Sorry for whatever reason it was soured it for you.

I think it is for a lot of people. It may have intially began as a christian celebration but it is embraced by many more now.

Part of the religious teaching used to be that Christmas is a time for "peace on earth and good will toward men". Who wants to argue with that?

 

[petros]

Religious teaching? Charles Dickens was an Apostle?

Actually it began as a pagan celebration which was commenderred by the Christians. Most of the stuff people commonly associate with Christmas (trees, wreaths, greenery) is pagan in origin. And Santa Claus I think was invented by the retail industry -- nothing Christian about him.

Yeah, I actually knew that but was posting on the fly. I knew someone would point it out though, lol.

I worked for a company a few years ago that had two JW's that said they did not celebrate Christmas and would not attend the company Christmas party. The boss said that that was too bad as he was handing out Christmas bonuses at the party and asked them (since they didn't celebrate Christmas) who he should give their bonus to. They came to the party and had a good time.

Yeah....why should atheists begrudge us Christmas,....when they have their own unchalenged day of celebration?

 

[CDNBear]

The answer is, Festivus.

My favourite is feats of strength, though the airing of grievances is pretty good too!

Nope....their day of celebration is April 1....;-)

I like Christmas...there is nothing religious about it, unless you go to Church, or incorporate Christianity into the celebrations with your friends and family. Most people I know, including Christians, do not. Like TenPenny said, Santa Claus, Rudolph, Jingle Bells, Blue Ray discs, chocolates, candy canes, etc. are not part of the Christian religion. That's a different C word, Consumerism!

The vast majority of Christmas celebrations involve santa claus, reindeer, and snow, and have nothing to do with Christian concepts.

Those who argue against Christmas concerts should make sure they are working on Dec 25 and 26, and that they do not give, nor receive, and gifts at that time.

And no OT for working on xmas day.

That's a really good point. Maybe they should just let them have their concert then.

Since it will be their last one and all.

Oh, I guess I've thought wrong all these years, but until now I thought "Christmas" is a derivation from the name "Christ". Stupid old me...........jumping to conclusions.
