...toward what is both a religious and a secular holiday and a major event in Western culture, most school officials have adopted a hands-off policy. They generally leave principals and teachers free to organize whatever parties, pageants and other observances they think appropriate. When the school administration in Marblehead, Mass., tried to become more precise, the result was a ruckus that promised to make the season anything but jolly...
Past Christmas observances in Marblehead's seven elementary schools (total enrollment: 2,270) differed little from those in other school systems. Children made window decorations, trimmed trees, sang carols and exchanged gifts at classroom parties.
