Piling waste upon waste, soon that December 25 holiday already recognized by the state will have a name. According to a post on the KY3 blog, of Missouri’s 12 recognized holidays, only four are officially named by the state, and there is a proposal underway to officially name the December 25 holiday “Christmas.”
This unproductive exercise by our General Assembly, like all its activities, can be tracked on Policy Pulse. I found it by searching the keyword “christmas.”
