I'm sure those gathered would not object to singing "Silent Night."

I can't wait to see Santa Clause wrapped in swaddling clothes and laying in a manger.  cheeze....what happened to Youngstown?  No Nativity Scene?  No wonder all the kids leave Youngstown.  No belief in Christmas, no jobs.  Have fun with the tree.  Did you ever wonder who MADE that tree?  It sure in the heck wasn't Santa Clause.
