Green Christmas?

This is the "Christmas concert" play, 'Santa Goes Green' ,that we opted our son out of at school. This is totally left-wing enviro-nutto stuff. When we found out about it I wasn't surprised, but was taken aback at the crazy nature of the words to the songs.

I mean, this is Christmas. What does the message of 'going green' have to do with Christmas?

Here are 3 excerpts of the songs:

The Greenhouse Effect:

Solo (Sequoia, the evergreen tree):
Let me tell you all a story of a day not long ago.
I was growing in a forest north of Rio de Janerio.
I was cool,
I was relaxed,
I was growing branches but,
Everything went south
When my friends were all clear-cut! (GASP)
Something was wrong, and I suspect
I got caught up in the Greenhouse Effect.

The temperature is getting hot.
The ocean starts to rise a lot.
The Arctic’s like a melting pot,
And I suspect the Greenhouse Effect.
We’re making too much CO2
The snowmen have lost a pound or two.
Don’t know what’s happening to you?
You should expect the Greenhouse Effect....

Turn off the Pump (and Plug in the Sleigh):

Turn off the pump and plug in the sleigh.
It’s gonna be a green holiday.
We’re powered up now and we’re ready for flight.
So please don’t forget to turn off the lights.

Just look to the sky
And you ought to see us.
We’re pulling a sleigh that runs like a Prius.
While some deer get by eating green grass,
We’re powered instead by clean burning gas.

Turn off the pump and plug in the sleigh.
It’s gonna be a green holiday.
We’re powered up now and we’re ready for flight.
So please don’t forget to turn off the lights.

The night is upon us and we’re ready to go.
The moon’s high above us
The earth far below.
With Santa in tow,
Up the chimney we rose,
And Rudolph out front
With his L.E.D. nose!

Oh nothing at all could this holiday spoil,
Except for the price of a barrel of oil.
On this Christmas Eve we’ll give it our all,
And juice up the sleigh with pure Ethanol.....

Here is another one after the song, "Recycle the Fruitcake":

Santa: Oh, I get it. If we recycle, we can save the world!!

Mrs. Claus: recycling will certainly help, Santa dear, but there are many more things we can do as well.

All: Like What?

Mrs Claus sings:
Ride a bike or take a hike

Solo 2: Recycle all your mail.

Solo 3: Avoid fast food or maybe you’d adopt a humpback whale.

Solo 4: Advocate or insulate

Solo 5: Accumulate less stuff.

Solo 6: A compost pile makes a reindeer smile,

Santa: That ought to be enough.

Mrs. Claus: Oh no dear.
Give me an R!
Give me an E!
Give me a C-Y-C-L-E. RECYCLE!


Uggh!!
