Re: A Westerners Opinion
Amethyst, it was sad for me to read about the changes made in school due to christmas....in my son's school, the had a "Holiday" party - not a christmas party. All the children learned the song "We wish you a merry christmas" but it was modified - they sang the christmas part then happy qwanzaa, happy hanukah and even, yes, happy ramadan. It was beautiful, they learned something about each and celebrated all.
So this school, rather than ignoring the holiday, added to it and made it that much more special, for everyone.
Perhaps you could suggest something similar?
