The War on Christmas A public school teacheror student says, “MerryChristmas” and somepeople think the world iscomingtoanend.Assillyasitseems,therearelaw-suits file almost every year challenging silly thingssuch as Christmas trees,the use of the colors redor green, and third gradechildrenhandingoutcan-dycanes. In the last year or so,Texas (along with Ten-nesseeandMissouri)saidenough is enough andpassedthe“MerryChrist-masLaw.” Thislawisaimedatpub-licschoolsinthosestates,andauthorizesschooldis-tricts to educate studentsaboutthehistoryoftradi-tionalwintercelebrations,and specifically allows students and district staff

to offer traditional greet-ings regarding the cele-brations, including MerryChristmas,HappyHanuk-kah, and (if you have to) happyholidays. These laws also autho-rizes (with some limita-tions) displays on schoolproperty associated withtraditionalwintercelebra-tions, includingmenorahsand Christmas imagessuch as nativity scenes andChristmastrees. Of course, organiza-tions such as the Ameri-can Civil Liberties Union opposed these laws say-ing,“There isnoWaronChristmas, and... There’sno need for these laws.”The obvious response to this sort of statement is,“if true,whydowekeepgettinglawsuits?” The reason is that wehave become a nation that isafraidminorities. Idon’tmeanethnicminori-ties, but small groups ofmalcontents who work tobully the rest of us in tochanging...justforthem. A good example of thisis Ferguson, Missouri. Ifyouwatched thenewsre-ports,youwouldthinkthewholetownof20,000pluspeople was involved in the

riots.Thetruthis that theevents in that town were limited to a five or six blockarea,andmostoftheindividuals who were riot-ingwereeither criminals,relatives of criminals, or out-of-towninstigators. The result was that... ahandful of individuals, us-ing violence and threats of violence, tried to bully America into believing what they wanted us tobelieve. When you are out andaboutthis‘holidayseason’andsomeonesays,“MerryChristmas”or“HappyHa-nukkah” you can be sureofone thing; theyarenotbullying you or trying toconvert you to some reli-gion. They are just shar-ing the joy of believing in somethinggood. So... here’s hoping youhave a...

Onthe13thof thismonthIwasapartofmymom’s75thbirthdaycelebra-

tion. Each of us kids did a specific part in the des-sert social as well as the overall party. One of my parts was to serve ice cream. One question arose, “Tee, how long have you been old enough to serve ice cream?” I guess to answer that I would have to say, “Since I was backinSundaeschool.” When choosing ice cream flavors I was perplexed with the question, “What flavors do you choose?” At this point in the store I said, “Tee, you can’t just choose the flavors you want. You have to choose the flavors for your guest palate.” Of course in my opinion there are no bad flavors oficecream. After analyzing the available flavors I chose Vanilla, Chocolate, and Mint Chocolate Chip. Neapolitan was a close choice. Strawberry (being my favorite) was not in the five quart size.

I then questioned myself, “What flavors of ice cream rank inthetopten?Didyouchooseaccordingtothetopten?”LaterIdidalittleresearchtoseewheremychoiceswereincomparison to the national average. The polls weren’t con-sistent with all the flavors in the same position. I was sur-prised. I also believe one needs to take into consideration what part of the United States they are in. I think geogra-phy, the availability of local fruits, storage, and advertising campaigns tend to set the sales of specific flavors. Vanilla is the first choice of ice cream by almost 28%. Chocolate is the second most chosen favorite flavor. Straw-berry used to be the third favorite, but it now ranks about 6th or 7th in the polls. I figure people don’t eat strawber-ries as heavy as they used to, or the ice cream makers only put in imitation flavor, forgetting the real strawberries. I canonlyspeculate. MintChocolateChip inmostof thepollswasconsis-tanly third or fifth place. Other flavors that placed in the topwereCookieDough,CookieDoughwithChocolateChip,PralinesandCreme,RockyRoad,andPistachio. Where’s Huckleberry? Being another of my favorites, it didn’t even list. I guess that is a real case of the geography thing. The rest of the United States don’t know what they aremissing. In 1984, President Ronald Reagan proclaimed July as

National Ice Cream Month, and that, “...ice cream is a nutritious and wholesomefood enjoyed by over 90% of the peo-ple.” To me every month is ice cream month...Idon’tsegregate,althoughIadmit Iprobablyeatmore icecreamin the winter. That may be becauseitiseasiertogetithomestillfrozen.Meltedicecreaminyourbackcarseatisagreatwaste. Ice cream may also be more fla-vored in the winter due to the fact moreholidaysarebunchedcloserto-gether(includingbirthdays).Whenathomeweenjoyedmorehomemadeicecream simply because we had moreice in the creek, less daylight hours,

and a cow that gave 8 to 10 gallons of milkadaywitheachgalloncontaininga

Don’t allow the merchandising gurusdecide what flavor of ice cream you should
