Grinch Castro Tries to Seize U.S. Christmas Decorations

Move over, ACLU: The latest tyrannical dictator to declare war on Christmas is Fidel Castro.

Cuba is threatening James Cason, the United States' senior diplomat in Havana, with "serious consequences" unless he takes down Christmas decorations at the American Interests Section.

The display "includes a reference to 75 dissidents jailed last year," BBC reported today, adding in a whining aside that "the display does seem designed to irritate the Cuban government."

Cason insists he won't obey Castro. "We're prepared to pay whatever price for the things we believe in," he said. "They could expel us. They could continue to hinder our activities. ... We don't know what they're going to do."

The exhibit "includes a huge white Santa Claus, an image of galloping reindeer and a flashing sign wishing Cubans a Happy Christmas," according to BBC. Candy canes and white lights are also featured, the Associated Press reported. Apparently, then, there aren't any Nativity scenes or other symbols commemorating what Christmas actually is, or used to be: a celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ.

Castro, you don't need to censor Christmas; politically correct Americans have already done the job for you.
