Where has Christmas gone

The Child Centre where my daughter-in-law works will not be celebrating Christmas with the children as there are families who attend who dont believe in it. Last time I checked this was Australia and I grew up going to school and making Christmas gifts and easter bonnets as a way of life.
To me this is a tradition of the Australian way of life which we now have to change for a minority. It's not like we would go to their country of origin and demand that they celebrate our way of life.

Hi there Mustang17
It is really up to the Child Centre management to make the decision as to whether or not to celebrate Christmas. I agree with you that Christmas is an important time of the year for us in Australia and New Zealand. Woah betide us if we don't recognise the customs of the immigrants in our societies. We don't want to be like America or England where they aren't allowed to practice some of their custons in schools or Child Centres. Keep up the protests.
