Why do schools have to wind the kids up so much? What with the daily count-downs, making 'the perfect' presents for parents, candy treats and christmas parties, constant practicing and performing for the plays, and talk about presents, my kids are wrecks. And so are the kids at my school, even those who don't celebrate Santa Claus!
They have such high expectations, and are so anxious, that the joy disappears.
Why can't Christmas be a home thing, touched on at school, but not the over-riding theme?
Bah Humbug!
I couldn't agree more. It's the upside of having our long summer holidays around Christmas down here in the southern hemisphere. xox
