UPI - City in China bans Santa Claus, Christmas items
UPI reports: "You better watch out, you better not cry; you better not pout, I'm telling you why: A ban on Christmas decorations is coming to one town in China, according to multiple press reports. [...] Christmas is not an officially recognized holiday in China, but the holiday is associated with Christianity. The crackdown on Christmas decorations is compatible with government interference in 'unauthorized Christian worship,' according to the Post. [...] Reports of the ban come after dozens of police officers reportedly disrupted a children's Bible class in Guangzhou, a city in southern China, over the weekend. Other authorities in Beijing closed down a 1,500-member church in September."

Comment: Well, what a bunch of Grinches!  I think the Chinese Communist Party is going to get coal in their stockings this year.
