Christianity has survived another year of the ongoing War on Christmas — without help from the Church of England, which censors Christmas carols on the grounds that they are Christian:

Christian hymns such as O Come, O Come, Emmanuel have been singled out for depicting other faiths as being ‘outside of God’s grace’. …

Also targeted was Lo, He Comes With Clouds Descending, a favourite of Queen Victoria. Clergy have been sent a link to research that suggests the second verse contains ‘problematic words’ by stating Jesus is the ‘true Messiah’.

Birmingham clergy were instructed to avoid such language.

[D]iocesan officials in the ‘presence and engagement team’ claim the hymns have a ‘strong emphasis of supersessionism’ – a doctrine which holds that Christianity is the one true religion.

Speaking of problematic doctrine, I wonder what Church of England chin-pullers make of John 14:6:

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

In other Anglican news,

The Bible is pro-transgender, according to guidance promoted by an Anglican campaign group. …

The guidance is contained in resources hosted on the website LGBT Faith UK. A link to the document states: “The Bible affirms trans, intersex and queer people.”

They support this blasphemy by pointing to the existence of eunuchs back in the day.

On the same site it is stated that the Bible “affirms gays and lesbians” and “affirms bisexuals”.

Actually, the Bible explicitly does not.

The website LGBTQ Faith UK supports the lobby group Changing Attitude. …

The pressure group was founded by Colin Coward, a retired Anglican priest, and wants to bring about a “radical transformation of the patriarchal, heteronormative, white, western privileged culture of the Church of England”.

In other words, he wants to subvert the church by replacing Christianity with moonbattery so as to defile and destroy it. This is why moonbattery must never be allowed to get its foot in the door of a church.

Kwanzaa serves the War on Christmas by providing a more politically correct alternative holiday. It also helps raise the profile of subpar but highly woke artists:

Rare artworks of a queer black Jesus and a black gay church family are presented here along with new books and other black LGBTQ resources in honor of Kwanzaa.

Hard to top that for intersectionality.

A black Christ welcomes LGBTQ people in “Jesus for All” by Andrea Noel, an Afro-Caribbean artist based in Baltimore. Her Jesus expresses queer solidarity through bright rainbow colors that stream from the head of Christ. The rainbow rays include LGBTQ symbols: linked female signs, linked male signs and a transgender symbol.

Presenting “Jesus for All.”

“Neither” shows a dark-skinned Jesus who is male on one side and female on the other in the style of the Hindu deity Ardhanarishvara. He/she has a rainbow halo and holds a transgender symbol.

Presenting “Neither.”

This one is timely, in light of the sentencing of Atlanta’s William and Zachary Zulock:

“Bless This Family” shows a black gay couple as gospel singers in choir robes. They are holding hands in front of a stained-glass window with their children in their arms. The models for the painting are Terrell and Jarius Joseph of Atlanta and their two-year-old twins Ashton and Aria. Terrell and Jarius are a married couple and “social media influencing brand” who blog about gay parenting.

Presenting “Bless This Family.”

Art doesn’t have to be good. It just has to promote moonbattery.

Black Santa is culturally incongruous but not transgressive enough for true moonbats. Add sacrilege to the political correctness by replacing Saint Nick with Transgender Claus:

Not all moonbats looking for an intersectional woke alternative to Christmas can make it to Virginia for the LGBT+ black vegan feminist Kwanzaa expo. Left Coasters can instead head for the self-described queer nightclub Slaughters Portland to attend the Kwanzaa Community Fundraiser and Drag Show:

This event proudly showcases the talents of our queer and/or trans community members. Expect a lineup that dazzles and celebrates diversity in all its forms!

“All its forms” could include even healthy normal people behaving in a respectable manner. But don’t worry, moonbats; they wouldn’t take diversity that far.

The perverts cavorting onstage in woman’s clothes get half the money. The other half goes to the Urban League of Portland, which…

…is one of Oregon’s oldest civil rights and social service organizations, empowering African-Americans and others to achieve equality in education, employment, health, economic security [yadda yadda yadda].

What do you need Christmas for when you have the Kwanzaa Community Fundraiser and Drag Show? Why worship Christ when you can worship LGBTism and Afro-oppressedness — at the same time?

To advance their goal of eradicating America, they erode our traditions — even the most sacred. Saying “Merry Christmas” is now an act of rebellion. We are supposed to help social engineers erase Christmas by saying “Happy Holidays” instead. But kids are putting up resistance to the PC grinches:

On Friday, the first lady hosted the annual Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots campaign at the White House. She greeted everyone with “Happy Holidays,” to which multiple children shouted back with emphasis, “Happy Christmas!”

The kids forced the presumed acting president to abandon the charade that we are celebrating holidays in general and specifically name Christmas.

If kids can do it, so can we. Stand up to moonbattery and wish one and all a Merry Christmas.

Homosexualizing Christmas is not good enough. To properly desanctify the holiday, it must be transsexualized too:

Trans Secret Santa UK has kicked off its 2024 Christmas gifting campaign to raise funds to deliver festive gift parcels to trans youth across the UK.

“Trans youth” mostly means vulnerable children targeted for grooming. Transsexual children would have been hard to imagine before LGBTism was embraced by the moonbat establishment.

Trans Secret Santa UK will once again bring together volunteers, LGBTQ+ advocates, and allies to support trans children and young people who may otherwise feel isolated during this time of year. Funds raised through the campaign will go toward carefully selected gift parcels, each accompanied by a Christmas card featuring messages of love and encouragement from prominent trans figures.

Best not to think about what kind of toys the carefully selected parcels might contain or what the kids are being encouraged to do.

The War on Christmas rages on in moonbat-occupied Europe.

In Aisne, France, the display of advent calendars in classrooms has been banned:

A fortnight ago, the directors of public schools in a district in the south of the Aisne department received a letter signed by an inspector from the Académie. The letter contained a clear message: Advent calendars are no longer welcome in the department’s schools. Teachers who decorate their classrooms or rely on the calendar celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ will be called to order by their superiors. ‘I have been made aware of the possible presence of Advent calendars in the classrooms,’ reads the letter sent to Valeurs actuelles. ‘I would like to remind you that Advent is a religious custom: Within the framework of neutrality, which secularism prescribes as a fundamental value of the Republic, I call on you to remind school teachers that no pupil may be confronted with an Advent calendar in a school setting.’ After the controversy surrounding nativity scenes in public places, the inspector implies that the Advent calendar violates secularism and de facto puts pupils in trouble.

Speaking of being in trouble,

[T]he inspector even asks to be informed about any calendars that still exist ‘so that [he] can look after the teacher concerned’.

Meanwhile, in Germany:

In the deeply Catholic Upper Palatinate (Bavaria), of all places, a nativity scene is now causing hilarity on social media. The reason: the Holy Family has been replaced by Christmas trees, which have sometimes been ‘creatively’ decorated with flower pots and red Christmas tree baubles as noses.

Celebrating Christmas without smirking is more than an embrace of tradition and an act of worship; it is a gesture of defiance against moonbattery.

LGBTers make an impudent spectacle of queerifying Christmas. They won’t do this to Ramadan, for obvious reasons. However, they will allow the War on Christmas to spill over onto the woke Afrocentric alternative to Christmas, Kwanzaa — or as moonbats of gayness would have it, KuchuQwanzaa:

KuchuQwanzaa is a 7-day celebration and expression of Black LGBTQIA+ cultural principles, values, and ideals. …

KuchuQwanzaa is in large part based on the traditional Kwanzaa holiday, but seeks to infuse queer ideology, principles, and values to establish a space for Black LGBTQIA+ folks to celebrate our unique culture, history, and contributions.

What these contributions might be is unclear, unless they are referring to a prominent role in spreading potentially lethal venereal diseases like AIDS and monkeypox.

The moonbat agenda calls for anything traditional, wholesome, or sacred to be defiled. That goes double for Christmas. So the LGBT media presents us with “Queer Advent Calendar: 24 Christmas Activities to Make the Yuletide Gay.”

Tactics for desecrating Christmas include:

• Decorate the Christmas tree [with LGBT flags, etc.]

• Design queer Christmas sweaters [that proclaim sexual deviancy]

• Queer chocolates [using obscene molds]

• Bake gingerbread queer people

• Queer hot chocolate [because anything can be made queer]

• Queer pub crawl [because getting drunk at gay bars is what Christmas is all about]

LGBTism is a totalitarian ideology. Every imaginable aspect of society must be oriented toward sexual psychosis — no matter how inappropriate. Nothing is sacred except the profane.

Just as John Cornyn and friends made Juneteenth a federal holiday that competes with the Fourth of July, moonbats place Kwanzaa on a par with Christmas. Local media promotes Kwanzaa in the pretentious liberal elite enclave Martha’s Vineyard. Enthuses a Kwanzaa celebrant:

I watched my grandmother’s reflection in the bathroom mirror as she put the finishing touches on her Karamu dinner best. A black blazer with hints of red and green that represented our African American/Black Liberation flag. … Wearing these colors is a symbolic gesture, showing your pride without having to say a word.

At least social engineers will let us keep the classic Christmas colors.

I could hear my little brother in the next room inquiring of our grandfather Keith, his namesake, about why we had to get “all dressed up” for the Kwanzaa celebration we were attending that evening. I remember my grandfather expressing the importance of paying respect to celebrate our culture, honor our ancestors, and reinforce cultural identity.

The glossy pages slid between our fingertips as we read through the two Kwanzaa books our grandparents introduced us to that year. We intriguingly read along. My grandmother, Elizabeth, who was a college Dean and professor in education, had an entire lesson planned out for us to understand the importance of Kwanzaa and meaningful ways to celebrate.

Et cetera, ad nauseam.

As noted previously,

Kwanzaa is a contrived black supremacist/socialist holiday invented in 1966 by California State black studies professor Maulana Ndabezitha Karenga (a.k.a. Ronald Everett) as a moonbat alternative to Christmas. …

Christmas has Jesus Christ. Kwanzaa has Maulana Karenga.

Daily Caller has more information on the Father of Kwanzaa:

Karenga was convicted in 1971 for brutally torturing two naked women. The weapons of torture included a soldering iron, a vise and, of course, a toaster.

He used the toaster to beat his victims over the head.

A psychiatrist diagnosed Everett/Karenga as “both paranoid and schizophrenic.”

Happy Kwanzaa, moonbats!

Even the most sacred traditions — or rather, especially the most sacred traditions — are to be transmogrified into something contrived and absurd so as to assert the primacy of moonbattery. The name Santa Claus comes from Sinterklaas, a Dutch tradition dating back many centuries. But Disney presents guests with incongruous black Santas so as to subvert the holiday into a festival of wokeness.

The unofficial fan site Disney Dining tells us we like this:

A guest visiting [a Disney park] with their family shared their joy at seeing a Santa Claus represented by a person of color during a photo session earlier in the day. “Santa was an older Black man, and even Mrs. Claus was a Black woman,” the guest noted, adding that the representation felt refreshing and meaningful.

“It was nice seeing Disney representing Santa in more than just a jolly old white guy,” they said.

“F*** those racist jolly old white guys,” the selected guest delicately refrained from writing.

For the family, this portrayal added a new layer of magic to their Disney experience, one that celebrated diversity [yadda yadda yadda].

Uh oh; what’s this:

However, the family’s delight turned to confusion later in the day during the park’s Christmas parade. As the floats rolled by, the same Black Mrs. Claus they had seen earlier was spotted walking near the front of the procession—without Santa Claus by her side. Moments later, at the end of the parade, Santa appeared in his sleigh. This time, however, Santa was portrayed by a white performer.

The chosen guest complained bitterly:

“It was obvious they completely changed the person representing Santa from a POC for photo ops to a Caucasian for the parade,” the guest explained in their report.

No backsliding, you racists! Bring back Black Santa!

The work of social engineers will not be complete until Christmas has been erased. On behalf of the moonbat establishment, Neiman Marcus aka Needless Markups does its part:

For the first time ever, Neiman Marcus has rebranded its 98-year-old ‘Christmas Book’ gift catalogue, which has now been called a ‘Holiday Book’.

Another historic milestone on the progressive march toward utopia.

Back in 2021, chief marketing officer Daz McColl apologized for acknowledging Christmas by bleating,

“The title of our book is not exclusionary in any way. It’s part of our tradition.”

Not good enough. Tradition is inherently exclusionary — if you consider that in Liberalese, “exclusionary” means “politically incorrect.”

The non-Christmas book carefully avoids any imagery that might remind shoppers of the deprecated holiday.

Laments an employee,

“If [CEO Geoffroy van Raemdonck] and his team put as much time into running the business as they did on expressing viewpoints about DEI, we would be buying Saks or launching an IPO. Instead, my job is at risk because of our business failure.”

As it is, Saks owner HBC will soon buy Neiman Marcus. Hopefully it will restore the Christmas Book. Or maybe HBC will go woke too and rename it the Kwanzaa Book.

In the meantime, you will probably get a better deal anyway if you do your Christmas shopping somewhere other than Needless Markups.

Given that Hugo Chavez and Nicolas Maduro have reduced the formerly richest and most stable country in Latin America to a miserable basket case, why does the USA have politicians eager to emulate them? Because the goal of leftists is not the well-being of the country; it is to maximize power. Madura has so much power, even Christmas bends to his will.

Via El País:

Hours after the Attorney General’s Office ordered the arrest of opposition candidate Edmundo González Urrutia on terrorism-related charges and in the middle of a profound political crisis, the Chavista leader took advantage of his television program to announce a change in the festive calendar. “It is September and it already smells like Christmas. And that is why this year, in homage to you, in gratitude to you, I am going to decree the advancement of Christmas to October 1,” Maduro said.

Christmas in October. You see what wonders socialism can achieve.

Not having to wait so long for Christmas may help keep people’s minds off the oil-rich nation no longer being able to keep the lights on:

The Venezuelan president addressed his supporters while recalling the massive blackout last Friday, which affected around 80% of the country.

President Kamala might do away with Christmas altogether, considering how vehemently she has denounced it. She could replace it with Kwanzaa, which she says her family has celebrated since long before it was invented.
