Nobody in Africa's ever heard of Kwanzaa.

I live in a central jersey shore town which shall remain nameless, in case any ACLU trolls are lurking. Our Municipal Building features a creche outside, amazingly, there is no Menorah and no fruit basket nearby. The PUBLIC school high school band and choral concert last week finished up with Haydn's "The Heavens are Telling" and gasp!- Handel's Hallelujah Chorus, with the audience standing. There were some Hannukkah songs and "seasonal" type songs- Silver Bells, I'm dreaming of a White Christmas", but overall a good 50% of the selections were what could be considered "religious". Reading stories about what is happening out there, I feel like the characters in Jurassic Park when they first set eyes on the dinosaurs - experiencing something extinct, or at least almost so. P.S- for the teachers so concerned about teaching third graders diversity, first teach them READING,RITING,AND RITHMATIC.
