Recently there was an event to mark the start of Eid , Davila and very soon Hanukah. All these religious festivals are openly talked about in my son\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s school and celebrated but  you can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t find celebrations for Christmas anywhere? On a local poster all the above religious festivals are mentioned but not Christmas &#8211;   Santa is on it and words like winter festivities or festival of lights, but Christmas is never mentioned. In my son\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s school they are going to do play about a baby \u00e2\u20ac\u201c but as yet the word \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcChrist\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 has not been mentioned.<\/p>\n<p>You can tell by now that I am a little pissed off about this. Who is against Christmas?  I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t think the other religious faiths are? So who is it \u00e2\u20ac\u201c is it big  business or people who are trying to be politically correct \u00e2\u20ac\u201c why is Christmas so offensive? Is it because it has \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcChrist\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 in the title?  I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t know. Any ideas\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6.??<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I live in a multi ethnic community, where people belong to many different religions.
