In reply to Jim Cassidy. Is no one disturbed by Dolan’s antisemitic comment below?? “The Jews must be stopped”... Really? First of all, the Jews did not change the lyrics of Winter Wonderland. The original song was written in 1934 and the lyrics have NOT CHANGED. The “Parson Brown” lyric is the third original verse. The “circus clown” lyric is from the fifth original verse. No one replaced “Parson Brown” with “circus clown.” It was already there. You need to call out dangerous, hateful comments like this one if you’re going to run a truly Christian page.

Parson Brown is still in the 3rd verse of Winter Wonderland; The circus clown is after the break, in the 5th verse. The circus clown is sung in the 5th verse, instead of a repeat of Parson Brown, to make the song child friendly.

Yes, I know what your point is Jim, it’s the Jews unfortunately….Once again a minority of less than two percent is trying to force their will on to our majority Christian Nation…They MUST be stopped!

I’m obviously missing your point as well. Are you sure you even made one?

James:

Thanks for your attempt to move away from the usual schizotypal dour and acknowledge the levity of the season. With global warming it has indeed become difficult each year to resurrect Pastor Brown on snowy lawns. At least we still have the crèche, street caroling, church pageants, Santa on his throne, family gatherings, and sharing of glad tidings of great joy. Merry Christmas to all!

According to this thread at the Free Republic site, the “circus clown” verse is original, it’s just a later verse.
