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.

Yes I'm very cross too. This country was founded on Judeo-Christian ethics which is what makes it so wonderful and why everyone wants to come here. Sadly the real meaning of Christmas has been swallowed up by the commercialism, and the birth of Jesus Christ is a byline mostly these days. What do people think Christmas really means??? Why does it have the name 'Christ' in it??? It makes me sick and angry that Muslims especially can hijack our culture and we lie down and let them walk all over us. Wake up Australia!!! (and New Zealand) and have a look at what Islam has done to the UK and many other once safe and happy Christian countries. Tolerance is once thing, but capitulation is quite another. Lets all campaign for the return of proper Christmas celebrations, with carols sung, nativity plays, little kids dressed as angels and shepherds, and a visit to Santa as a tradition, even though we know its not the true meaning of Christmas. God bless us one and all.
