A Winter's Tale

So the debates rage:

Will it snow on Christmas Day?

Will it be a White Christmas?

Is it racist to say White Christmas?

Is it racist to sing White Christmas?

Is it weird that people think that the phrase 'White Christmas' has the potential to offend when the song White Christmas was written by a Jew, namely Irving Berlin, who told his secretary the morning after he wrote it: "I just wrote the best song I've ever written, hell, I just wrote the best song that anybody's ever written!" or is it the perfect example of how Christmas has been re-appraised and re-appropriated to suit the needs of our modern society and has become a more secular celebration of family and therefore was ahead of its time?









It probably won't snow on Christmas Day.
