The 1st graders, including my son, were 'winter'. They sang 'Jingle Bells' and 'Old Toy Trains'. They also went through the alphabet listing winter things. 'C' included Christmas and 'H' included Hanukkah, but 'J' didn't include Jesus, 'C' didn't include Christ and 'G' didn't include god.
The 3rd graders were 'summer' and they sang campfire songs and told ghost stories.
Maybe your kids different experience reflects attitudes of the administrators?

I have no intention of forcing my kids to attend Church or believe in any particular doctrine, but I would strongly consider sending them to a private school as a protest to the politically correct BS that has enveloped the public school system. "Winter Holiday" my ass.
