Also on this subject, I guess I am on a roll here
In my school in Canada, not an ESL school I might add, I organized a concert for Christmas called Festival of Lights. I am actually in the process of writing a book and creating a CD of songs from the concert. It is a great idea because most cultures have a festival of lights or light candles in the darkness of wiinter to spread light.
So this is a way of having the traditional "Christmas" concert, but making it acceptable to the many cultures living in Canada.
In class we studied Hanukka, Diwali, Advent and Kwansaa and heard the stories, played the Driedel game and ate the foods. Each class participated in creating big banners for each festival and we decorated the gym with them for the concert. I wrote a song "Lets shine a light on every corner of the world" and then each class performed Christmas songs from around the world as well as songs from the other cultures.
This way you can celebrate Christmas, but in the context of the world community.
I agree with Simply yes, we all NEED celebrations
