While living in PA I knew a Christian family who didn't celebrate Halloween
because they thought it was associated with Satan. They kept their kids home
from school on Halloween. Years earlier when we were living in LA my son had a
couple of classmates who were Jehovah Witnesses. They weren't allowed by
their parents to participate in anything having to do with a holiday, whether it
was an art project coloring a Jack-o-Lantern or singing a Christmas song.
Life goes on....

Church is a great place to celebrate religious holidays, Ramadan, saturnalia
(Christmas), Rosh Hashanah, Samhain (Halloween), Eoster (Easter), etc.

Well, since the public schools provide support to the secular societies by
producing good citizens who can do math and science -- religious holidays would
only distract from that purpose. Happy American Commercial Wintertime
Festival, y'all.
PS Xmas started anciently as an abbreviation
for Christ's Mass [ cross mass ]. It is not a secularization either then
or now.

Xmas works just fine for me and millions of other non religious Americans. Keep
the religious propoganda out of our schools.
