I don’t know about the math in this, but overall this is great news. I don’t even mind the 16 percent who celebrate it as a secular holiday because as long as Christmas survives I will be happy. I do feel sorry for kids who attend public schools though....no fun. My kids go to Catholic School and they still have a full Christmas pageant with Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus....not to mention tons of fatty cookies and cakes to eat after. It is just delightful to see that schools still do this type of thing. Unfortunately for public school kids that is not reality.
My daughter’s “Winter Concert” was last week. They sang one non-traditional Christmas song about getting stuff, one miserable little song about the winter solstice, a song about a snow day and a twenty second Hanukkah song. It was awful... just awful.
This was our first Christmas concert in public school. I’m on a mission to make it our last.
