I think it's super important to keep the spirit of Christmas alive, especially in young children. Soon they won't believe in "Santa" and they won't look forward to it as much. Some students might not even get to celebrate it much because their family can't afford to buy presents, so their parents might not celebrate at all. At school then, they can celebrate it and enjoy the Christmas spirit festivities. Creating family traditions makes Christmas a special time for children and sharing their joy helps parents overcome their Yuletide yawns. I wish they did something like celebrating the spirit of Christmas in the High School as they do in the Elementary School. Christmas is the most magical and wonderful time of the year. It's not just about the religion aspect of Christmas either. No matter what religion or culture you come from, watching the lighting of the tree in New York's Rockerfeller Center is an awesome experience. I think it gives kids and adults a wider resepect for others cultures if they understand the religious background of Christmas.
