Unless it's a Christian school, why would they call it a Christmas party? -- nm - ty97 Dec 16, 08:45 43
- As I said, it's a science school, so it's precisely zero to do with "not offending" - Reagen Dec 16, 08:56 2

- the days of Christmas being a religious(edit: -only) holiday are long past, but it's nothing I get worked up about either way -- nm* - ML Dec 16, 08:46 20
  - Yes, it can be exclusively religious or it can be widespread, but not both. -- nm - Reagen Dec 16, 09:30
  - It's still a religious holiday, but I get what you mean, it's become a secular holiday too. But not everyone celebrates it. -- nm - ty97 Dec 16, 08:48 18
    - sure - ML Dec 16, 08:49 17
      - Mind you, I don't get in a lather if someone calls it a Christmas party. I just don't get why people get worked up if it *isn't* called that. -- nm - ty97 Dec 16, 08:50 16
        
        Because people like having things described in their own terms, rather than someone else's. -- (edited) - znufrii Dec 16, 08:52
        
        if someone is throwing an event, they can call it whatever they want. if someone wishes me merry christmas, that's nice. - Andie Dec 16, 08:52 4

        You didn't capitalize the first word of your post and I'm offended and angry! -- nm - ty97 Dec 16, 08:52
        
        or they believe in the birth of Jesus being celebrated -- nm - Beaker Dec 16, 08:52 7

        Halloween isn't acknowledged at this school either but again, deliberate science focus. -- nm - Reagen Dec 16, 09:11
        
        I've heard this about Halloween seeming to be a growing thing. It's a headscratcher to me. -- nm - ty97 Dec 16, 09:09
        
        *drinks more Midori* - kilbowl full of jelly Dec 16, 08:52
- so just happenstance that the 2-3 weeek break happens over Christmas? -- nm - Beaker Dec 16, 08:46 9
  - Of course not, we all know that. But explain to me how not calling it a Christmas party is hurting anyone -- nm - ty97 Dec 16, 08:48 8
    - it hurts Jesus' feelings! -- nm - Beaker Dec 16, 08:49 7
