“Rockin’ around the Christmas tree…” is the way an old, upbeat Christmas song of that same name, begins. Sung with glee by Brenda Lee, this song has graced holiday radio airwaves for decades. Creating a toe-tapping rhythm, its electric guitar lead usually evokes a smile along with an invitation to join the singing.
Of course, this is not what many people consider “traditional” Christmas music. They often defer to more religious compositions such as Silent Night, Oh, Holy Night, and It Came Upon A Midnight Clear. But that’s a personal thing in the grand scheme of things, in my opinion.
In any case, this time of year is supposed to be special in that it is in preparation of the birth of Jesus, the Savior and Lord of the Christian faith. As a Christian I do not feel this is one bit controversial, but for others – perhaps those who dislike Brenda Lee’s Christmas tune – such a divisive tune demands attention.
In the vein of ‘fairness,’ the world has gone crazy. Of course there are other religions that celebrate their own holidays at this time of the year; unfortunately, Christianity seems to be the main target of countless, mindless rebellions by non-believers.
Insignificant groups of malcontents in both Iowa and Wisconsin, under the guise of a religious sects, felt compelled to add their version of the Christmas holiday in the form of a Satanic display. Although disgusting, spineless state pubic officials rued there was nothing they could legally do to prevent such as display of visceral hate in an attempt to ruin Christmas for everyone else.
The Satanists’ argument was they simply wanted inclusion and felt the law needed to be challenged. Yea! Not one Iowa or Wisconsin lawyer was able to find a law or loophole to prevent such an atrocity. Perhaps there should be a hiring campaign for good guvment lawyers in those states. Just sayin’.
On the other hand, one good citizen named Michael Cassidy, was able to find a solution to Iowa’s sordid holiday train wreck. A former Navy pilot and Mississippi state candidate was arrested following his destruction of this horrible mockery of Jesus and His followers. Problem solved, I say. And “Thank you, Mike!”
In the meantime, in Boston, the Asian mayor, Michelle Wu, decided to treat her staff to some holiday revelry. To ensure a great turnout, Wu’s staffer sent an email to everyone in the Mayor’s Office to not forget this important event. That’s the good news.
The bad news is that Mayor Wu, with the intent only a Harvard lawyer could muster, had the invitation rescinded. It appears as though the original email was copied to “all” employees in the mayor’s office, a faux pas that would have left a non-racist with egg on their face.
Thank goodness for Wu, she apparently needed a reason to prove to civilized America she was a world-class bigot by announcing her soiree was an event for “Electeds of Color.”
You see, The Mayor’s intention was to have ‘an all-inclusive’ holiday party except for Whities. By the way, there are seven Whities on the Boston City Counsel. Oops!

With a smirk during a subsequent press conference, Wu explained this misunderstanding away – just as the powers-that-be likely told her to do while getting her law degree in Harvard. The misunderstanding was that White people needed to find other activities, plain and simple. Pretty inclusive indeed, Merry Holiday!
Yet, the story doesn’t end here. Some investigating revealed Mayor Wu’s husband is, himself, White. EasternShoreFishAndGame.blogspot.com is still wondering if the invitation applied to that White guy, too. No one seems to be saying much, though. So much for emasculation of White folk via inclusion.
And let us not forget about our environmentalist friends who can find woe and anger in anything and everything.
Christmas trees are an integral part of the Christmas celebration. Beginning in Germany in the early 720’s. Involving a convoluted story about pagans and Saint Boniface, tradition was born using an evergreen tree as a “holy tree,” per a Britannica reference, beginning a custom extending for generations.
The eco-kooks have been coming out of cracks in the walls to offer their anointed perspective on Christmas trees, leaving no room for discussion. These are the same people that promised civilization would freeze to death shortly after their prognostication in 1974; our days were numbered, they said.
In 1976, those same nut-jobs began an earnest effort to warn the world’s inhabitants their life expectancy was no longer than 1984, as the planet was certain to spontaneously combust. And yet here we are 39-years later awaiting that terrible fate.
In an attempt to predict the future again, various groups of unemployed and unemployable people who need to be self-important resurrected the long-standing debate over Christmas trees. It seems as though these do-gooders feel cutting down a perfectly good pine tree for no apparent reason (other than religious tradition,) should be a crime.
Demanding legal action against anyone destroying a healthy part of nature has been bandied about lately. Giving “rights” to nature is only one more step to long-term mental health care for them. However, they feel this effort will have a year to garner enough support to enact meaningful legislation for Christmas 2024 to save countless blue spruce trees. Sure.
A solid alternative to this bizarre behavior, they feel, is to buy and use artificial trees. Perhaps those shallow thinkers failed to realize Christmas celebrants have been cutting down holiday trees for 1,300 years, to the tune of thousands to millions per year. There doesn’t appear to be a tree shortage after all that willy-nilly harvesting, though.
Too bad these same eco-kooks won’t accept any advice from me about changing their idiotic lifestyles that they feel they can and should impose on me and others like me. Where’s Michael Cassidy when you need him again?
And to that end EasternShoreFishAndGame.blogspot.com wishes you all a very Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year! God bless.
