I'm with the redhead. Tash's school is doing exactly what Jen said, despite the fact that there are no Jewish kids in her class (maybe even in the school). They played with dreidels and learned The Driedel Songs and Tash came home and asked which of our friends are Jewish. She knows the difference between a menorah and the Kwanzaa candles. For their play, this year they are doing "Christmas Around The World," which is teaching them the cultural differences of worship. One would think that this would be a stepping stone to understanding that even within its own ranks, Christianity is different to different people.
I don't see anyone being nicer to anyone else this time of year. Everyone always says that, but I have no clue what they're talking about, except maybe that "Happy Holidays" is used in lieu of "Have a nice day" in shopping centers.
Crazed shoppers are supposedly down in record numbers this year, as well.
