How much should Santa "spend"?

 

This just came up on my FB newsfeed.  I must say I agree with the sentiment (although not neccessarily with the way it is expressed).  We  Santa never "spent" much at our place.  Big ticket items always came from us.

It actually got a little heated and she resigned from the committee afterwards. We had only one Christian member on the committee who abstained from all discussion and voting to ensure a fair outcome.

Maybe it is council run schools only ?


I did not know that councils run schools?  I thought it was state government that run state schools, and who ever runs independent schools.  Nobody actually bans Xmas, some schools just do not bother about it.  Xmas used to be religious holidays, now it is just excuse for a spending spree.


Yea, Yea,

 

Go burst my Christmas Bubble.

 

Christmas is what we as idividuals make it.

 

Or be like the Sheriff of Nottingham ( Men in Tights ) - Cancel Christmas.

 

Enough to drive a girl to drink.

 

Speaking of which I know where there is a lovely Vodka, Lemonade & Lime.

 

Like MacArthur - I shall return.

The so called ban on Christmas seems to be more of a made up claim to incite anger at migrants.

Trying to infer something that isn't there ?

No, NOT at migrants, at the PC Brigade who are from my experience, the councils.

The PC brigade who are scared of offending anyone. The we don't want to offend anyone, no gender bias for children,

we can't do that because we have one Sikh, Muslim or whatever in the class etc etc etc

 

 

Like the woman Punch talked about above who wanted to ban the Christmas concert at a kindergarten.

 

"She thought it was culturally insensitive. It was really strange because we live in a really small community of predominantly people with a European background and mostly Catholic & Christians (the few that do attend church). There had certainly been no complaints re the concert (apart from her) so I don't really know where the idea came from. And she was Asutralian with more than likely a British background and didnt really follow any religion. "

 

That type of person.

Which councils? Specific ones youve had dealings with or ones you've read about? If you want people to take  your assertions seriously you have to make them specific not hide behind vague generalities.
