Don’t mess with Christmas I t ?//n k i ? e ^ 'RUN A)iN<2> 13£H/NI> The superintendent of schools in Mustang, Okla., learned the hard way that one doesn't take Christmas at ScHETstiLE 1 all lightly in his town. The educator recently turned thumbs down on a nativ­ ity scene that was to have taken place in Mustang’s annu­ al Christmas play. Residents were outraged and expressed their distress by rejecting an $11 million bond referendum sought by the schools. No doubt the Mustang superintendent was bowing to a sense of political correctness where the Dec. 25 date on the calendar is concerned. According to trend-watchers, for a growing number of Americans, the Christmas sea­ son has ceased to be about one religion and more about, well, all faiths. The holiday period stretching from Thanksgiving to New Tears has steadfastly become more secular in recent years, partially to accommodate the diverse population that makes up the American landscape. Christmas falls in the same holiday season as Hanukkah for the Jews and Kwanzaa for African-Americans. The Mustang superintendent is not alone in his think­ ing, according to experts. More and more Americans are questioning the place of religion in Christmas. The feel­ ing is, in recognition of the present-day American land­ scape, the holiday season is an occasion to be observed and enjoyed by those of all faiths, not just Christians. Hence, to be politically correct, restrict the religious emphasis. TTiis growing debate over Christmas is complex. Reli­ gious observers have long argued that instead of being an occasion to celebrate the birth of Jesus, the season has taken a decidedly commercial bent. Madison Avenue has taken notice of such concerns. Retailers start pitching their wares at Thanksgiving, and don’t let up until well after New Year’s. This year their marketing ploy has taken a non-ecumenical turn. The Letter to the editor words “have a merry Christmas” have generally been replaced with “have a happy holiday.” One automobile commercial in particular has incor­ porated the sentiment in its jingle promoting the sale of Topic o f concern to readers cars with huge red ribbons tied around them. “Holiday,” dent Jackie Loynd is that the deer they are taking action against their dead (and still counting), and tens not “Christmas,” sing the carolers, to attract those buy­ Deer pockets won’t wander away from where pocket deer “vandals.” of thousands of dead or wounded ing Hanukkah and Kwanzaa gifts as well, no doubt. expanding they have it so good, in order to get Betore MiHbuni’s deer pockets Iraqis, the fact that America is We don’t really mind this new trend.
