Frosty the Snowman, was a jolly, happy soul...
Until he got under the lights, and remembered all his woes...
that is, the throwing up woes. Thumpity, thumpity, look at Frosty go! Just joking, Cooper did great, the only things flying from Cooper were songs and a hat. It was refreshing to go to a school program, and amidst reindeer, trees, sugar plum fairies, toy soldiers and lots of snowmen were children's voices singing about Christmas. In our culture that seems to be a banned word, replaced instead with happy holidays, kwanza, and other words that wipe away the real meaning of Christmas. I heard the first graders did a nativity play, and have done so for the last thirty years. Where else but here I guess would that be allowed? I love my community.

Lucky you! We have "Holiday" parties around here, no nativities. It's sad. Cooper is CUTE! :)
That is great that it is still allowed. I was reading in the paper that a school district in England cancelled the Christmas Program to observe a Muslim holiday. In the Washington State Capital they have displays of many faiths and also the faithless, the athiests decided to put a sign up bashing all believers, if they want a holiday, they should petition for one, I think April first is still available.
He is the cutest snowman ever! I'm so happy that you can still use the word Christmas at school... everyone's so afraid to offend. It all looks so festive! Fun.
Wow! You are lucky to have such a great school for your boys to attend. I went to the holiday concert today that the High School puts on and it was wonderful. They did do several Christmas songs from different cultures. I have gone for 13 years now and love it. Will you email me your street address? I need to get a Christmas card out to you.
So happy that you are happy in your new community and that you can actually celebrate Christmas without offending anyone. It's really sad. We never had those problems growing up. Times have certainly changed.
I love it. The good old days.
I spoke with Cooper tonight and he was so cheerful and out going. Changes are slow, but plug along and they will come. Small communities can be the balm of gilead.
