Seriously, my school is just littered with Christmas decorations, from wreaths on the doors to a 30-foot tree in the "commons" (foyer, in normal terms). We don't do any work in the last week, just watch Christmas movies in class and eat candy canes.

To be completely honest, it seems really rude and ignorant to me. I know the school board has stated that Jehovah's Witnesses are excused from school that final week if they'd like, but again, it seems rude and ignorant. I love so much about Christmas, and I'd hate to see it brought down by anything, but I can't help but feel bad for people (especially kids) who don't celebrate it.
