Well, it’s official. You can now say "Merry Christmas" in Texas public schools. Governor Rick Perry has signed into law a bill that eliminates legal issues surrounding the verbal use of "Merry Christmas." According to the Associated Press, the Gov. said, "religious freedom does not mean freedom from religion."
Guess what? I have been saying and will continue to say, "Merry Christmas." We grumpy old men are stubborn that way. Heck, I even say it to my Jewish friends. They don’t mind and even say it back. And, now it is official, I want to invite all those folks in other states that are not allowed, to come on down at Christmas time and shout it out. You can say "Merry Christmas" now, but in the summer, people look at you funny.
The AP also reported that about 10 Santa Claus impersonators were invited to the bill signing and rand sleigh bells as it was made law. Questions? If they were impersonators, it would imply that there is a real Santa. Where the heck was he? Question 2? Why didn’t they invite Jesus to the signing?
I suppose that wouldn't be politically correct.
