Holiday
.
The song ‘Baby, It’s Cold Outside” ‘ is seen as In the current
era, and is being banned by some radio stations. The radio stations have stopped playing that classic
song because it has lyrics that suggest
rather than proposing an innocent situation of
while being snow bound. SMH.
As long as we are eliminating everything that could offend the
, I have a few more suggestions.
I think we should ban “
” by Bing Crosby because this might offend
people. We also need to eliminate “
Is in the Winter Night” by Enya” and “The
World of Winter” by Bing Crosby for the same reason.
There are many, many songs that reference
that should be forbidden because many religions
in
. They have their own
. In fact the very name
should not be permitted just because of the
part. This word might offend the
people, the
. The
. The
and the followers of
.
Now I see that there are some “
” movies that people want to ban. The first of which comes to mind is the classic Rankin/Bass holiday offering “Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer.” They want to ban this because an
throws the
out of the sleigh even though
mentioned that
. Then there is that
with
, the deer who are
towards Rudolph, the dentist
and the
toys from The Island of
Toys.
While we are at it let’s look at a few more
classics. We have “A
Story”. It’s just not
in America unless there’s a
hungry child in a
marathon. And how about washing your
mouth out
with
? Oh fudge, that is
! But
was the norm back then. I am old enough to have
this way myself. Good times.
Then we have the movie “How the
Stole ”. I think it is very insensitive to call him a
. Clearly he has
. Notice isn’t there even one person
in all of Whoville. Then be aware of the fact that they didn’t actually accept the
until he gives everyone presents! Looks like
to me. And what about making that poor
wear a heavy antler and pulling that giant sleigh. Someone call
.
The movie “
” features, ,
and a father
his son. “Frosty the Snow
” has the
magician Professor Hinkle attempting to
Frosty by
him in a greenhouse where Frosty is
.
“Home
” is about a
who is accidently
home during the
holidays by when the rest of his family goes to Europe. I think being
by your parents is a bit of a problem.
I see that some people are trying to prohibit all
related symbols in the schools and have suggested a ban on a list of
themed items in the hopes of being inclusive and culturally sensitive to all of the students.
A list of the suggested items would include the singing of
. Even the on the
is on the hit list because that’s a
related symbol. I think some people are spending more time working on these lists than they are taking time trying to understand diversity.
We now can’t see
scenes on governmental land due to “the separation of church and state” activists. Wal-Mart has switched its banners to “Happy Holidays” from “
“. It is Wal-Mart’s and other retailer’s participation in the moneymaking side of
that is the real attack on this beloved holiday. One more time, the have co-opted a cultural tradition that most
have enjoyed.
Enough is enough! I think I am old enough to decide on my own which movies I watch and which music I listen to. I love watching the old movies and listening to the old
songs. I love sharing them with my grandchildren. I will always wish you a
no matter who you are or what you believe. is the Holiday I celebrate. If you want to respond
or
because that’s what you celebrate, I promise not to be offended in fact I may respond in kind with your religious preference. I welcome your heritage as well as my own. Instead of us getting offended by each other, why don’t we just try to get along? This is supposed to be the season of peace on earth and good will towards men no matter what you believe, not the season of hate and discontent.
In closing, I will wish you a
, Happy
, Happy
or a
season, whatever works for you, from my home to yours.
