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.

I am also fed-up with the "We can't do this and we can't do that because God, oh excuse me Allah forbid( LOL), we might offend some one of a different culture.
I also grew up making easter cards and gifts and christmas cards and gifts at school. We are becoming so political correct, or is that incorrect?, that we are losing sight of who we are as a nation, we are losing our traditions and our rights to express ourselves and our beliefs.
As for childcare centres, preschools and schools those who do not believe or like our traditional celebrations, can remove their children for those days and not participate.
So to finish, I will wish you all a very MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A WONDERFUL AND HAPPY NEW YEAR.
