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.

Hadn't heard Rainbow Sheep !! - but now they "catch a TIGGER by the toe", that's fair enough. My kids' school still does Chrissy cards, but there are certain kids who receive "happy holidays" cards instead. It's just a primary school, but the kids are learning of cultural diversity and assimilation - NOT that a vocal minority are different so everything has to stop for them. Assimilation is the key, not setting up their own little countries within our own great country (and it's established traditions).
