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.

Christmas is a religion act and speaks volumes of how religion rules and creates disharmony in so many cultures and lives so the answer is obvious. I do not practice any form of religion my view is to create your own life without the greed that every religion has, it starts with the coin in the plate and ends with ownership of a wealth of assets, fleets of cars, non profit charities who make billions annually, schools and real estate I rest my case.
