Putting The [Blank] Back In [Blank]mas 2

The City of Encinitas in northern San Diego County decided to change this coming weekend's celebration from Holiday Parade to Christmas Parade -- and three community groups and a Jewish Temple have announced boycotts.

Here's the mayor:

"The first 50 years of my life I went to the Encinitas Christmas Parade. Somewhere, somehow -- nobody seems to know who -- somebody changed it. I changed it back."

He told AP it was no big deal. Well, it is a big deal to the Girl Scouts -- shame on them! Once they were an upstanding group, but they've been so seized with political correctness that they are threatening to pull out of the parade in the name of diversity, which more and more is synonymous with idiocy.

Also pulling out is the town council of nearby Leucadia and (uh oh!) the Bernese Mountain Dog Club of Southern California ... which I could understand if it was "Burmese," but "Bernese?"

Rabbi David Frank of Temple Solel says it will be hard for his congregation to participate in "this specifically Christian observance." Why? It celebrates the birth of a Jew who formed the religion practiced by most of the soldiers who freed the victims of the holocaust.
