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.

I think the "political/ethnic/religion correctness" has gone to far.
All Christians and christian countries should be able to celebrate Christmas. As far as I am concerned, Australia is basically a Christian country (just look at all the many, many "Father Cristmas'es" ( some renamed Santa), at the shopping centres). We do not ask any other country/organization/religion to stop their celebrations because we do not follow their believes. If a Child care Centre in my area choose not to hold Christmas celebrations because some people object or get upset, I would campaign to close it down because they don't object to the benefits it gives them, such as triple time or holidays or public holidays or presents/bonuses . If you took that away, the noises made by them would drown out their own protests.
