Potioncat:
It fell around Christmas time a few years ago. Caused quite a stir in 
our school because some of our students were fasting, yet it was 
tradition to have winter parties. Some parents were still smarting that 
it's winter parties, not Christmas parties, and now they were being 
told not to have food at the parties. The administration was just 
trying to be sensitive to everyone's needs.
