[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We do not celebrate Christmas and my 9 year old has been coming home super bummed recently because he is "the only one that does not celebrate Christmas" and "everyone at school keeps talking about Christmas and Santa".

I really appreciate that the schools try to squash Christmas/Santa talk.  I don't care if they discuss the Holidays and traditions, but Christmas is very dominant and can become a bummer for those kids that don't celebrate it.  Adults often make comments to my son about "Santa is going to visit you" and "have you been good for Santa" and it's definitely awkward for him and makes him feel uncomfortable -  and even sad because he feels like he is missing out.

We of course deal with it as a family, but it's just another perspective.  [/quote]
So to make sure your kid is not the only one bummed out, we should bumm out the rest of them? Charming.[/quote] I'm the poster you quoted and this is my first response since my original post.  Of course not, that's not what I meant to imply.   I grew up celebrating Christmas and the magic that comes along with the season. I'd never want to take that away from another kid or bum anyone out.  I was just sharing my situation and the fact that I appreciate it that Santa/Christmas is not a focus, at least it isnt at our school.  The do a  Winter Assembly and the focus is on all the Holiday celebrations that happen during this time of the year.[/quote]
