Put Christ back in Christmas

This is a letter I sent to my member of Parliament after reading Doug Williams' blog about Christmas.

Dear Cheryl

I think it is time to take a stand, to let people know that this is a Christian country.  I am tired of hearing that we must be "politically correct".  Those Immigrants who choose to come to Canada to live should know in advance that we follow Christian customs and that we have Christmas, not "holidays" and that they can choose to celebrate or not, but that they do not have the right to tell the rest of us that we can not celebrate in our own fashion.  If we want to have nativity scenes in our front yard or on our streets, that is part of our Canadian culture.  If they don't like it, they don't have to look at it.  They get to choose what they want to celebrate and can put it in their own front yard.  

This country is based on Christian values which are slowly being eroded as we give in more and more to those who are coming to our country from somewhere else and expecting to have the right to bring their culture with them.  They are coming here to better themselves, they should be told in advance what the expectations are.  The Somali should be told that we do not tolerate gangs running around with knives threatening other people and that they can't just take what they like.  There should be people to explain to them before they come over here, or after, what the expectations are and that they will end up in jail if they do that. 

Our country is becoming weaker and weaker as we give in more and more.  It is time to stop.  To go back to our roots.  To return to prayers in the schools.  To return to our churches to learn more about our faith. Why is it that our children are allowed to learn about all the other faiths, but not the Christian faith?  Why is it ok to mention Buddha, but not Jesus Christ in school?  It is time indeed to look at where we are going if we continue down this path.

Sincerely
Fran Watson
