You have to say Happy Holidays." Since when? I'm a Christian so why can't I wish people a Merry Christmas?

To make matters worse, my sister cannot video it either, due to fears over Paedophiles. The world has gone mad I tells ya...

Unless of course you also rename all your celebrations of other religious festivals to something seasonally generic? I don't see why anyone should be offended by Christians celebrating Christmas just as they shouldn't be offended by Muslims celebrating Ramadan or Jews celebrating Hanukkah. Why not celebrate all religions and their festivals equally so that our children can grow up with the understanding that our faiths and beliefs are all equally valuable? With my best wishes to you and all the children at Hill View for Christmas and the New Year. [meesteryan] Dear Hill View Primary School,

With my best wishes to you and all the children at Hill View for Christmas and the New Year.
