So now Christmas (not Christ Mass) can only be celebrated as an exclusive catholic holiday? Nowhere in the program, which was fabulously put on by the way, were there religious connotations. It was children celebrating the season with love and joy! Last time I checked there were a lot of “non denominational” people of all races who celebrate Christmas as a time of goodwill toward all and not exclusively as the birth of Christ. What a narrow minded point of view Gil! Why try to taint and sully something fun and innocent like Santa Claus for the children? It’s just further validation that a public school was badly needed in this community to broaden minds. Great job to all the students and teachers who put time and effort into this holiday program. Instead of bashing those efforts perhaps we can treat others as we would like to be treated. Isn’t that the Christian way in keeping with the season? Happy holidays to all!
