That's why schools now don't celebrate Christmas it's "Winter Festival".
Erm... we're already gearing up for Christmas at our school. As is my sister's school, and the two schools attended by my niece and nephew.

The Christmas lights are up in Aylesbury. The ones that say Merry Christmas. And all the shops are selling Christmas presents, Christmas crackers, Christmas puddings... Even in Leicester, where Diwali is a huge event with equally decorated streets and fireworks, they have a nativity scene in the Town Hall Square.

I can only assume it's different in Scotland.
