No room at the Inn

Or for that matter in the Shopping Malls

Hidden away! Nativity scenes disappearing from shops around the country

On this, the early days of December as shoppers throng to the new temples of the consumerist cult, look out for signs of Christmas. You could be hard pushed to find any nativity scenes or any portrayal of the Biblical Christmas story. In some places the symbol of the kiddies fun side of Christmas; the Christmas of reindeer, Santa and snowmen have been purged. What is going on?

Cultural revolution

Shopping mall bosses have cravenly yielded to demands from politically correct lobbying groups and removed the "Christ" from Christmas. Although many individuals from ethnic minorities are not offended by the sight of nativity scenes or the sight of reindeer, the politically correct idiots feel that such symbolism may be offensive to some minority groups.

Well let us give a clear message to these cultural revoluntaries and that is "hands off our traditions". Australians love Christmas and the joy of being with family and friends in a time of reflection and togetherness. Christmas is an important part of the Christian calendar and while the leaders of established Church, both Anglican and Catholic seem to have abandoned defending the faith, it leaves the ordinary Australian to defend our Christian cultural heritage.
