I am afraid that I have to agree.
At my daughter’s “Winter Concert” there were few traditional Christmas Carols, certainly none that glorify the birth of Christ.
But I could not happen to feel a bit cynical when the chorus broke into song with “California Dreamin”
We aren’t allowed to sing of Christ, but a song written by a drug addict and incestuous pedophile is okeedokee.
Nevertheless, a very Merry Christmas to everyone!
You have got to be joking. What does Christmas have to do the song California Dreaming?
Yet at malls around the country, been hearing flash choir mobs singing “Handels Messiah”, a very good sign that people are taking Christmas back.
Our sons were in chorus at a public high school and the choral instructor said she slipped in a lot of Christian music throughout the year in Latin. Our younger son starting at age 8 was in a publicly funded children’s choir. At the beginning of the year, the instructor called a parents meeting and said that all the music that year would be religious because they were going to be participating at the end of the year in a huge gathering of children’s choruses from all over the midwest in Newton KS, big Mennonite area. No one objected. The music and the event were glorious. Almost a generation later and the trend continues. Sad that our children are being denied their heritage.
I read these kind of stories every Christmas and feel so sad for y’all. I’m truly blessed where we live-our public school Christmas program featured secular AND holy carols. The big finish was an a capella by the entire elementary of “Silent Night”, the audience was asked to join in...we all did. It was beautiful.
And
not
one
person
complained!
Our elementary school knows it’s community and doesn’t kowtow to PC much (and we’re small enough to get away with it!). Thank God!
