Christmas in Hallettsville, Texas

November 15, 2007


Apparently, the folks in Hallettsville are not up on certain topics -- like separation of church and state and urban legends because this is a sample of how they decorate the courthouse for Christmas.

For Example, they believe that the song "The 12 Days of Christmas" is a song about Jesus.



Let's just skip the part about how Jesus doesn't really belong on government grounds. Let's get right to the meaning of the song. It is about giving gifts, dancing and having fun (you go lords-a-leaping!). This song is not a secret device for oppressed Christians to remember the tenets of their faith or any other such nonsense. Read more here if you are interested.



An candy canes are just candy. It is not a secret symbol for oppressed Christians (when have Christians ever been oppressed?) or red because Jesus died for your sins and white because he is pure. Learn about how they are not religious candy here.

There is a secret message if you play the 12 Days of Xmas backwards. And in Spanish.

Does it tell you what to do when the Rapture happens?
