[Spridgets] No LBC School won't allow Christmas in my classroom, how to get around that.

[John Innis]

Stores are trying to be inclusive.  It is not an attack on Christmas,
but rather a broadening of the seasonal decoration to include
everyone.  It is just not possible for the stores to decorate for
Hanukkah, then Christmas, then Kwanzaa, then New Year's.  Since the
stores start decorating in November (or earlier) you can throw
Thanksgiving in there too.  So to try and get a lot of different
people from a lot of different faiths together to buy stuff, the sorts
generalize to "Holidays".  I fail to see how this affects me at all.
Christmas is not about stores and gifts.  It's not about trees and
decorations.  Don't forget that freedom of religion applies to
EVERYONE not just Christians.
