[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I believe it’s train done gone.

Also, it’s a great song so it’s ok by me. We had some Santa and reindeer type stuff today at charter and id kinda rather have had this song. Mixed in with several completely random songs.[/quote]

We don't pretend Santa is real at our house. I really dislike that "Santa" is considered the secular pc version of the holidays.
Also, not Christians so not generally fan of religious Christmas songs or any others at school either. UNLESS there is a historical, cultural reason and it is used as educational tool. If I didn't know it was a historically important spiritual I would have had a issue. I would expect a school to explain to children the history and importance behind the song beyond the obvious religious connection. I suppose this means noting it in the program or information sent home to parents as well.

But then I am happy to have all holiday activities tread as academic cultural / historical information and lesson rather than a school play or whatever. [/quote]
