My son just brought a note home from his 5th grade classroom asking parents to bring treats to share at their “celebration of the winter season.” When I was a kid we called it a Christmas party.
He says they don’t call it a Christmas party because that offends a few of the people. I’m offended that they don’t call it a Christmas party. Perhaps the school is trying to teach about tyrannies of the minority, but somehow I doubt that. I also find it amusing that in the process of trying to find a politically-correct name for their replacement of Christmas they chose a name similar to that of a pagan celebration.
