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.

you are darn right mustang17, our Australian culture is being lost, why??? I wish I could tell you, you are right about the small minority, if we go to their country it is respectful for us to observe their customs, could you imagine what would happen if we did not, the Italians,greeks and chinese etc, come here and although they have their own culture, don`t interfere or try to change ours to suit themselves, why are these people getting away with this?????? my grandchildrens school won`t celebrate christmas because of this damn wrong, we are Australians, and if they come here, they should fit in, not try to change us it makes me vey angry,STAND UP FOR YOUR SELVES AUSTRALIANS I am not saying fight that is not a thing to do, but PLEASE..PLEASE...don~t loose our culture and traditions
