On ruining Christmas

Anyone who went to grade school, especially Catholic grade school, knows the horrible existence of the Christmas concert. We hate it as a child and then when we send our children to school, we have to attend the damn things yet again.

This year was different. William's school decided to have the Christmas concert during the "real Christmas season", which translated to "a week after Christmas"- or as I like to say, "completely made up shit". Now as tempting as it is to point out the glaring flaws in this master plan, I thought "Okay...whatever". In the end, I was too sick to actually go, but I was debriefed on the festivities. Here's my problem. If you're gonna make a big stink about the "real Christmas season" and the Epiphany and keeping the focus on Jesus, perhaps singing such hallowed and solemn hymns such as "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" and "Have a Holly Jolly Christmas" isn't that way to go. I'm just saying....

And they ruined Christmas!
