I'm a school bus driver. Last Christmas a notice went up on the garage board stating that Christmas decorations on the buses were now banned. It was stated that some of the non-Christian parents in the district were objecting to the Jesus aspect of the holiday, although none of the drivers had done anything to their buses other than the standard secular stuff like Santa and the reindeer and presents and shit.
It eventually came out that it was only one parent, and that the bus driver culprit was me - because I had asked my kids to stop singing the same two Christmas songs that they knew and asked them to instead learn "The Little Drummer Boy" which is like the only Christmas song that I actually like. It was especially ironic because I'm a fucking atheist and I just happen to like the melody and structure of that song.
Every other parent in the district went batshit over the decoration ban and it was quickly rescinded, with our director of transportation and our superintendent playing a hilarious game of blaming the other for imposing the ban in the first place. Both have since been replaced.
Also Atheist, also think Little Drummer Boy is the best Christmas song. It's a lot more forlorn rather than all the "be happy and joyful" crap that gets crammed down your throat every year. My only problem with Little Drummer Boy is the number of people who sing it try to wank it up with stupid timings and long or hurried phrases. Just sing it at an even pace and it's good!
Damn... Can't believe you oppressed Christmas like that.... 😓 Jesus will be very sad 😠
Par rumpa pum pum motherfucker!
Wow, that's absolutely terrible. And Little Drummer Boy is a fantastic song with a good message (give from the heart) regardless of your religious beliefs.
