Was it a traditional play for Christmas?, telling the story etc? - if so, glad the school is doing it... a lot of schools now, don't do that... which is wrong.
Its the 21st century but come on, its the UK, our traditions, we should be allowed to celebrate it without offending people.
It's certainly not many schools Michael. Without going into my background too much, I can guarantee you that is not the case.
Nobody is offended that people celebrate Christmas, Easter, Eid, Hanukkah, or any other religious festival. I celebrate the commercial form of Christmas, i.e. trees, presents, etc, rather than the religious form.
