It's all about being politically correct at work. We're technically a church, don't know what kind of church but that's beside the point. We're not allowed to bring up any holiday AT ALL with the kids (I work for a school program) for fear we might offend someone's religious beliefs. But at the office, we have a Christmas tree.
Oh and the kids get gifts during this time. Just adding to the confusion right?
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU BRIT!!!
