It is not even the middle of November, and already the attacks on Christmas have started.

Fox News reports that an email allegedly sent from the deputy administrator for the city of Wauwatosa, Wisconsin is restricting what Christmas decorations city employees can put up this festive season.

According to the email, this is being done so not to offend people. The email particularly restricted the use of religious decorations and the colors red and green.

But so not to be the total Grinch that tried to steal Christmas, certain exceptions were allowed for decorations.

Fox News explains:

With the reminder, the email asks departments to refrain from using “religious decorations” or “those solely associated with Christmas (such as red and green colors)” when decorating public spaces within city buildings.

Some neutral, inclusive decorations suggested include snowflakes, snow people, festive lighting, greenery and incorporation of colors like blue, green and purple.

Fox News adds that several city employees sent a copy of the alleged email from Deputy City Administrator Melissa Cantarero Weiss to Wisconsin Right Now which then released its contents to the media.

According to Wikipedia, Wauwatosa has a population of about 50,000.

Though, I am convinced that Christ’s birthday did not take place on December 25, since we will never know the exact day of Christ’s birth, there is nothing wrong with choosing one day to celebrate this miraculous advent.
