Why is there such an absence of Christ in Christmas. After all, without Him there would be no such celebration. I was really pleased tonight at our son's school open house. There were angels on the walls for decoration. The music piped over the intercom was distinctly Christian. The school choir also sang "Joy to the World" and "Away in a Manger", among their selections. They may seem like small things but I am glad that our principal is open to expressing Christmas with some of its original theme.
I was talking with an EA from another school and she was telling me that in their school "Joy to the World" was sung by the primary classes only with the lyrics re-written to express the shopping frenzy during the holidays. Not one mention of the birth of Christ in any of their productions.
I get tired of the world being so politically correct that we take the entire meaning out of the holiday.Can you imagine changing the whole meaning of something like Ramadan to suit our tastes?? It would NEVER happen.
