Yes, but, for the last couple hundred years or so, at least here in the
states, Christmas is about celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ.

BTW, some stupid liberal PC morons bitched about one of the schools'
Christmas decorations. They had to replace ''Merry Christmas'' banners
with
''Happy Holidays''.

Today, I heard that schools are no longer allowed to stage "Nativity" plays
at Christmas. Non-Christians might be offended!!

I sent my kids to a Catholic school in the hope that they would get the
Christian education that I had failed to give them. At the first
parent-teacher evening, I was shocked to discover that the Catholic priest
who taught Religious Education, was actually teaching Theology(perhaps
"Religous Awaewness")!!!


The government has laid down the curriculum for the teaching of religion.
All major religions must get equal coverage. So my kids are being taught
about Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, as well as Christianity. Catholocism
doesn't get a look in. It is really m/s/b/ad that the government feels that
it must override the wishes of parents in this way. This method ot teaching
can only result in a generation of atheists.
