As I know I mention every year (I know, you remember!), I really don’t get up in arms about “Happy Holidays” generally. Macy’s commercials, whatever, doesn’t bother me. But this kinda thing does: A Colorado parade that’s banning Christmas carols and a church group, to avoid offending non-Christians. Want to know who is allowed to be marching though? One example, “an Asian group that performs dances to ward off evil spirits at the start of the Chinese New Year,” according to the Rocky Mountain News. Fine, but why can’t a bible church sing Christmas carols at Chirstmas at a community event obviously looking to be “diverse”? Excluding a big part of the population at one of the most important times of the year for them isn’t exactly inclusive, folks.
