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.

We cannot cater for the minority. Whilst everyone within Australia is entitled to their own beliefs we are nevertheless a Christian country. Therefore Xmas can be celebrated by the majority, anyone who does not share those beliefs should have the right to withdraw from those celebrations but we must not cater for the minority. Whether they were born here or not non-christisans must grin and bare the fact that Xmas is celebrated.
