The town had been abuzz with the story and I am sure there will b loads of messages to the editor in the local rag, so I will keep you posted.

IMO the head teacher should not have apologised as there was nothing to apologise for. I checked my kids newsletter and it said CHRISTMAS Holiday, CHRISTMAS Tree, CHRISTMAS concert, CHRISTMAS dinner and CHRISTMAS carols all on the front page FFS somebody fone the police. It also said SNOWMAN OMG!!!! I am going to write to the school and tell them it should have been SNOWPERSON....mind u it did have a picture of the sed SNOWPERSON who had a crackin pair ov hairy baws

Send the kids to a Jewish or multi faith school. Or am I missing something here.

I lived in near to Tiberius in Israel and at Christmas my Israeli friends of Jewish faith went to Nazareth to buy those of us that celebrated Christmas all the Crissie trimmings and decs, we had a huge Christmas dinner on Christmas Eve with a tree and we were given Christmas Day & Boxing Day off work, though the rest of Israel went about their days work as normal then at New Year they took us to Mount Hermon for snow boarding and snow ball fights as this is how they imagined us Brits to have fun at Christmas.

That was back in 1994 and I am ashamed to how the world is just declining into a whole load of PC crap and sh*te!
