[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here -- Thanks. I'll make it an end of the year thank-you. It just got me thinking that it must be a little weird for her to plan a "holiday" party every year with essentially a Christmas theme -- b/c even though we all say "holiday" in public school, all the party festivities seem to be santa and reindeer-ish. I know it would be kind of weird for me (a cultural Christian) to plan Ramadan parties if I were teaching in a school where most of the kids were Muslim. Kind of makes you think of how other people experience the Christmas culture when they aren't Christmassing. [/quote] 12:53 again. It's cool that you are thinking about this. I do struggle wondering how my son must feel slightly weird during Christmas celebrations. However, Muslims revere Jesus as a great prophet. So it's not a huge, weird stretch. My son did have a Jehovah's Witness teacher once, and I gave her a gift card just like everyone else. She is the only person who returned it. She still planned the class' holiday party, so I am not sure what was up. I felt really bad, though. [/quote]
