School relents on Christmas ban

A SCHOOL that threatened to “ban” Christmas amid fears that the festival’s true message has been “lost and buried under an avalanche of commercialisation” has been persuaded not to by pupils. Students at Lady Lumley’s School in North Yorkshire, were challenged to write to their RE teacher explain why festive activities should not be banned this year. After receiving more than 500 emails and letters on the subject, the school announced on Tuesday that it had “brought back Christmas”.
