Life has become so politically correct and for the most part, I am all for most of the changes society has made. One thing that makes me sad is the lack of Christmas spirit in the classroom. When we were kids we had a full-on Christmas party and it was always my favorite time of the school year. I can appreciate the need for religious sensitivity but it would be nice if the kids could enjoy Christmas or any of the other holidays in the public schools.
Maggie goes to a christian preschool so Christmas is out in full force at Pilgrim. It's such a breath of fresh air to wish someone Merry Christmas and not panic for a split second that you've offended them. That's the last thing I want to do during such a fun time of year.

Maggie's masterpiece
The Christmas program at her school was a family affair
We were totally shocked Mags participated by singing proudly. She tends to get shy when the center of attention and to us that day, she was the COA!
I love how half the class is doing one hand motion and the other half is doing another hand motion
Ragen's school doesn't do a holiday party however the kindergarten classes do decorate gingerbread houses. It was a fun opportunity to go into the class to help out and see Ragen interacting with his buddies. Jeremy was even able to skip out of work to help out and Ragen was beaming to have his daddy there.
If all the kids grabbing for the candy doesn't spread swine flu, I don't know what will!
Giving each kid his/her own frosting bag might not have been the smartest...especially the kids who's parents couldn't come supervise. It was EVERYWHERE!
