Hospital Bans Christmas Carolers From Singing Religious Songs


CBS Atlanta
"When the students arrived to sing at the hospital Friday, they were given a list of only 12 Christmas songs that the hospital’s Pastoral Service had “deemed appropriate for celebration within the hearing range of all Veterans,” the Athens-Banner Herald reported."
....
“From our point of view, the purpose of Christmas and its carols is to celebrate and honor the birth of Jesus, and if that goal is taken from us, it is an issue we do not want to be a part of,” he said. “We do not think it is a good idea to systemically weed out religious Christmas songs from being sung in certain places.”
