Most Christmas music provides a spiritual blessing to those who wish to commemorate the birth of Jesus Christ. It is uplifting, joyful, and celebratory in a world embroiled with cynicism and corruption.
There are exceptions.
For example, the lyrics to a favorite, Deck the Halls, include the following peculiar stanza:
Deck the halls with boughs of holly
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
'Tis the season to be jolly
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Don we now our gay apparel
Fa-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la
Not to be insensitive, but just what the hell is “gay apparel” and who is this “Don” dude?
Although I am no theologian, I urge parents to force their children to wear "straight" apparel, forget about this Don character, and avoid using undefined F words at Christmas!
