We Wish You a Happy Holidays

I don’t usually post, but I thought that this one was too much in Gerald Pea’s wheelhouse to pass up. I just returned from Justin and Amanda’s Holiday Concert. As we all know, you can’t call it a Christmas Concert because that may offend someone. In fact, when Justin’s class performed, they went so far as to change the words from “We Wish You a Merry Christmas” to:

We wish you a Happy Holidays We wish you a Happy Holidays We wish you a Happy Holidays And a Happy New Year!

While that was mildly annoying (mainly because it screws up the rhythm of the song), what really got me agitated was that later in the program not only did they sing a Dradel / Hanukkah song, they also sang “Feliz Navidad”! So, apparently you can celebrate Hanukkah, and apparently it IS ok to say, “Merry Christmas” … as long as you say it in Spanish. Just don’t say “Merry Christmas” in English or you’ll spend the afternoon in the principals office. Ay Chihuahua!
