[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When virtue signallers get going like this it makes me wonder do they think their children are racist and need to be deprogrammed?     Or do they feel like they themselves have always held racist beliefs and perceptions and need to change themselves?

[b]Can someone recommend a good children’s Christmas book that doesn’t emphasize Christianity and a white baby Jesus and teaches that love and giving are not tied to a religion or a holiday?  [/b]

I know this is sarcasm, but there are tons of secular Christmas books.

There are also several books with a brown-skinned Holy Family.[/quote]

I really do not understand the idea of secular Christmas. Why read a "Christmas" book at all?

I remember being a store several years ago and seeing a nativity set that said on the box "nativity scene with child." I thought how odd it was that they avoided mentioning Jesus on the box since a nativity is by definition is religious and anyone buying said nativity would be religious to some extent. [/quote]

Exactly.

If you're not religious or are uncomfortable with the racial aspects of Thanksgiving, just don't make it an issue. There's no need to make everything so complicated. Just enjoy Thanksgiving as a time for gratitude and spending time with your family. No need to extrapolate learning opportunities and virtue signaling from every single holiday. Your children will not remember whether or not there were racial undertones in their storybooks; you're just projecting your own race issues onto what should be an otherwise innocent activity for them.[/quote]
