I am in Fresno, CA. I have never heard of such a rule. I know we don't have a rule like that. I personally don't choose to spend time on the more common holidays. I will, however have celebrations around the reading or writing we do. I did show A Christmas Carol last year. There is a segment of the story in our anthology. It was right before the winter break, and the kids asked if they could have a party. I told them to "bring food," which is all a 7th grader wants anyway... Kim

Life's too short to be anything but happy.
