[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s a stupid policy. Halloween and Valentines Day are recognized in this country and no longer associated with pagan or Christian rituals. [/quote] You're the type of person who says "why can't everyone just say Merry Christmas? it's just part of our culture now." While we are Jewish and celebrate Halloween and Valentine's Day, to criticize people who recognize the roots of the holidays and don't want to participate is to devalue the origins of these holidays and the significance of someone's religious convictions. Halloween has pagan roots and Valentine's Day has Christian roots. We are not at a JCC preschool, but our local JCC has the same policy. So did my husband's cousins' Jewish day school. I assume you also think it's no big deal that Christmas is a federal holiday, but that's a whole other discussion ... [/quote]
