Doesn’t feel like Chrismas anymore
I’m not sure since when, but Christmas just doesn’t feel like Christmas anymore. I remember that as a child, it used to be my favorite holiday. I’d wake up early on Christmas morning to find the trees and houses covered with snow, and all around the malls and in the neighborhoods, you’d see lots of Christmas decorations.
Maybe Canadians had more holiday spirit or something, but in the US, Christmas has been a disappointment every year. No snow to begin with (it’s been 2 years now, I’m crossing my fingers for a white Christmas this year, but I doubt it), and less and less Christmas decoration in general. As a matter of fact, it’s like Christmas has become a taboo.
This is the Christmas I remember, with snow and lights and festivities. What happened?
I was reading an article in the student paper the other day about how certain groups of people are trying to destroy and hide anything that might hint to Christmas, saying that it’s too religious and might make other people feel “uncomfortable”. Handel’s Messiah has been banned from being performed in public schools, people no longer say “Merry Christmas” but “Happy Holidays”, and even churches are frowned upon for displaying the nativity scene outdoors on their own property. As a matter of fact, a local fire department had to take down their Christmas decorations because some busy body complained about it being a disrespect to others.
People think they’re advocating for rights when they go out of their way to destroy the Christmas spirit to the point that even Santa and such are being targeted. They’re worse off than the grinch that stole Christmas.Error processing request
