I had to go check, of course, when I first found out.  It's true.  On Nick Jr.'s website, there's a free draw section (in the playtime section) where you can draw and then add text if you would like.  Christmas is a word that is blocked.  However, Kwanzaa and Hanukkah are not.  Why?  I wrote to them and I will not be watching their shows until something changes.  Go try it.  If they fix it, can y'all let me know?

    The kids and I got the same results. Did you notice that “Jesus” is also blocked?

    Jesus, God, Pope, Mass, President Bush… all blocked
    But not Kwanzaa, Hanukkah, President Obama or Church.
    Ridiculous.

    Hi, This is not fixed, but I have a workaround you can see at http://theschmitzer.blogspot.com/2008/12/dear-nick-jr.html
    (Sorry, blogger does not support Trackback).
    Here I show a free draw with an increased font size and spaces between the letters. When they block that, I’ll figure out the next workaround.
    Blocking this is a silly idea – you can’t stop people from worshiping their God.
