Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

Heaven forbid that a creche should have a ”valid, nonreligious purpose!” And to my Jewish brothers and sisters I say, please do put up a menorah on public property at this festive time. It will help me to explain to my children that other people have different celebrations, and that`s wonderful.

You may also explain to your children that Santa does not come to at least one Christian home in Glen Ellyn. St. Nicholas was a very nice man who died a long time ago, but at Christmas we celebrate the birthday of Jesus and Santa has no place in our home.
