Christmas not politically correct
I understand the politically correct thing to do is to not celebrate Christmas in schools, but I have to admit it saddens me. The schools used to have such wonderful Christmas parties and holiday plays or performances. For a few years there they were keeping the Christmas stuff completely Santa Claus based. Then they were incorporating different religions and traditions including all of the people in the area’s religious views. The school did some amazing performances with so many different traditions from so many parts of the world that it was quite enlightening. This year however they had no performance. This was a family tradition, going to these performances every year. Now they have nothing. It makes me sad. I miss Christmas celebrations, I miss people saying Merry Christmas, I miss the kids school Christmas Parties. It all makes me sad. I feel like part of Christmas is being stolen from me. I don’t want people of different religions to feel bad either believe me, I just wish there was a way to celebrate all the holidays and all of the traditions in a non offending way. I dont’ want anyone left out. All of it just makes me sad. I wish my kids could see how Christmas was when I was a kid.

It almost feels like something has died. I for one will say Merry Christmas to anyone I happen to engage at this time of year. I won’t let other people’s choices take mine away. Why should someone else feel bad because I celebrate my beliefs. I love the idea of celebrating traditions from other cultures, it’s a great learning experience for kids. MERRY CHRISTMAS.
