[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is wild what is "normal" in other parts of the country, having grown up on the west coast and raising children in FCPS.  Friends show pictures of decorating a class christmas tree, santa coming to the school christmas party, writing assignments where they write a letter to santa.

It's not normal here, OP. A good portion of students don't celebrate christmas. Please keep your family christmas traditions at home and let school festivities be things that are accessible to students of all backgrounds.[/quote]

I mean, are your friends at private schools? We're at a religious private here in Fairfax County. My kids love setting up the Christmas decorations at school - because everyone else is doing it too. When we were in FCPS the celebrations were always - correctly - very generically about winter. Sometimes the teachers would set up a time where kids of all backgrounds could share holiday traditions during the year, which everyone enjoyed.[/quote]

Nope. Public schools in Indiana, Arkansas, and Ohio.[/quote]
