ROTHENBURGER: The gutless revisionism of Christmas traditions
KAMLOOPS — OK, WE CAN ALL STOP being cute and clever about Christmas carols.
No more tongue-in-cheek demanding that Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer be taken off the airwaves because it’s about bullying. No more insisting White Christmas be banned because it’s racist.
