Just saw this email from Arizona Governor Jan Brewer and JANPAC. I thought everyone would get a laugh out of her panic over saying "Merry Christmas"
Dear Friend,
Merry Christmas!
When I first became Governor, I issued an Executive Order that encourages the celebration of Christmas and Hanukkah and prohibits any censorship of these religious holidays. I encourage you to read the Executive Order here.
As you may know, elected officials throughout our country have attempted to strip both Christmas and Hanukkah of their meaning. Some officials even prohibited government employees from placing religious items of celebration at their desks, renamed Christmas trees as “holiday” trees, and renamed Menorahs as “candlesticks.”
As Governor, I call things what they are...a Christmas Tree and a Menorah... and will gladly allow both Christmas and Hanukkah to be celebrated at the State Capitol. I encourage my colleagues and fellow elected officials to do the same.
Again, Merry Christmas to you and your family!
May God bless you, your home, the State of Arizona and the United States of America .
Sincerely,
Jan
P.S. If you'd like, leave me a Christmas greeting on my Facebook.
See the extended for the Executive Order...
