I have to agree with Heidi, my fellow Jew :-) here.  Christmas music 
is nothing but fun for me.  I love Christmas decorations and that 
holiday feeling I get every year the last week of school before break 
officially starts.  I think Christmas trees are beautiful.

In my school every year, we have a door decorating contest for the 
holidays.  Each Advisory (they're like family groups) compete to 
decorate their door best.  Last year I went nuts with my Advisory; we 
had so much fun putting our door together.  I have been talking about 
our door to my kids since September, because this year we want to win 
(we should have won last year).  It's a way for me to have fun with 
Christmas without any religious innuendos at all.

Of course the Holiday feast at school is delicious too - I can't wait!
