[quote=Anonymous] I'm not christian and i feel uncomfortable about this - they are collecting for kids within the school community and the children have made wish lists - some very pricey items are on the lists. I find it strange that a public school would so endorse Xmas as to collecting gifts school wide and talking about Xmas gifts to such a degree. They have noted, over and over, that not many people contributed to the Xmas gifts last year. I feel this reflects 2 things: one, many people don't celebrate Xmas, and 2) gifts are luxuries. If our school was collecting food or grocery store gift cards for Xmas dinner, I would not be on here complaining. So, my question is, do I bump up my discomfort to the Principal or not? I don't want to be a totally obnoxious parent, but I don't think it's appropriate for a public school to be collecting new presents for kids for Christmas.[/quote]
