The forbidden holiday

I start humming a christmas carol that I have stuck in my head. A teacher runs up towards me and whispers, "Stop singing that!! Detention!!" "What? Why?" I ask. "You were humming a christmas carol. You're not allowed to do that." After detention that day, I get out of school. The christmas carol is still stuck in my head, so I hum it again. The same teacher pops out of the bushes and shouts, "Stop singing that!! Suspension!!" 

Again, I say, "Wait, what?" "You were humming a christmas carol. I'm so disapointed in you. I'm calling your mom to let her know that you aren't allowed in school until you learn how to behave properly." Once I get home, mom's waiting for me at the front door. When I ask her if everything's okay, she says, "I got a call from the school. They said you kept on singing christmas carols." "Yeah, so?" "That's highly unacceptable. You're grounded." 

I run up to my room and climb on the roof. I sit there and finish humming the carol before going back inside and listening to other music before going back in.

    I just wanted to let everyone know that this wasn't meant to offend anyone. If you don't celebrate Christmas, that's cool. You be you. I just find it annoying when at schools we're not even allowed to listen to Christmas carols because there are some people who don't celebrate Christmas.
