Sounds fiscally responsable. They didn't forbid celebrations etc. They simply said that government money shouldn't be spent to do so. So I'm OK with that.

![]() The State's got NO business spending the People's tax dollars on Christmas presents, birthday presents, or any other holiday gifts. The same goes for office parties. Tax dollars should only be spent to benefit the people, not the bureaucrats and civil servants (except in as much as they are part of the People).

Forbidding/discouraging people from celebrating Christmas is not going to solve the global financial crisis.

No one is doing anything of the sort. All they're doing is refusing to use tax dollars to pay for gov't employee's Christmar parties.
