The solution is quite simple

This is really quite simple. We Americans make things much harder than what they really need to be. If you don't believe in Jesus then simply don't celebrate His birthday. There is a lot of indoctrination going on in schools and soon parents will get fed up and teach their own kids. casino online

FYI Baha'is do believe in Jesus. The issue is, we believe that Jesus has already returned, as prophesied, and that the Founder of the Baha'i Faith, Baha'u'llah, is the return of Christ, the Messiah. So as we believe this then we celebrate the Holy Days of the Baha'i Faith, whilst still respecting the Holy Days of the earlier Manifestations, or teachers, of God.

i totally agree. the solutions is easy. tell the teacher they don't celebrate holidays because they're not Christians, i dont see any reason for the teacher to take it against the kid. just show generosity examples.

No Celebration

I've know a number of people who don't celebrate Christmas. There's nothing wrong bout telling the teacher that you don't celebrate holidays. I'm sure the teacher will understand.

This sounds interesting, I used to love all the Christmas related homework when I was in school. Needless to say that Christmas is my favorite holiday of the year and most of all I love the Christmas trees. In recent years we switched to artificial Christmas trees for environmental reasons. Maybe an interesting Christmas homework for kids would be picturing a green Christmas.
