Our students enjoy finding out about the meaning of Christmas. They want to know why we do the things we do at Christmas. Who invented the Christmas card and the Christmas Cracker? Why do we decorate a Christmas tree? Their list of questions is endless but they all know why we celebrate Christmas. They all know the true meaning of Christmas.
We live in a society where the true meaning of Christmas can be lost. Christmas today has not only become commercialised but it also has started to change. The traditions we have taken for granted and have been passed down from generation to generation are, very sadly, being replaced with a ‘politically correct’ version or, even worse, stopped altogether.
This year a campaign to save traditions of Christmas from pollically-correct interference has been launched in the UK by Christians and Muslim leaders.
Notorious local authority attempts to stamp out Christmas include Birmingham’s decision to name its seasonal celebrations ‘Winterval’ and Luton’s attempt to change Christmas into a Harry Potter festival by renaming its lights ‘luminos’.

I thought that we were the only ones who had no real Christmas (I’m in Spain): you can’t sing carols in some state school, in case they hurt, you can’t find Christmas cards with Nativities (or at least it is very difficult to do it), the
streets only have trees and lights and so on…
I think that we should celebrate our traditions as we have always done and as the rest of the world does, not consulting us with we agree with their traditions or not. What a pity!
