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.

Poltical and ciultural correctness has gone mad and is ruining this great country just like it has in England where I was born. I came here from a very early age and consider myself English born, Australian made. Anyone who chooses to come to another country MUST respect the culture, customs, language and laws of that land. Be very grateful that you have the freedom to practice your religion and culture here (probably one of many reasons why you left your country of origin) BUT how dare you try to dictate what we can and cannot do in our own damn country. This is where multiculturalism (as opposed to cosmopolitanism) has ruined this country and others. If you aren't Christian and don't celebrate Christmas or Easter that's fine and your democratic choice not to but to insist that no-one else can because it offends you, well EXCUSE ME! Please remember why you came here in the first place. We have no desire to be dragged down to the level of a third world nation, thanks all the same.
