Not only that, but Christmas is the only religious holiday that their central offices are closed for too.
Werepossum was right though. When Christians only get their actual holidays off and mentioned but don't get to name a two week period around them that includes another holiday after their religious observance they are truly persecuted.
Since when it the winter holiday observance a "Christian" only thing? Winter and harvest festivals have been observed by almost every culture and religious group of people since human's kept written records. The symbology involved and the name has changed, but the act of a day of rest in those two time frames has been around for a very long time.
Don't worry. I'm sure someone is working on replacing the Christmas holiday with Darwin Day.It's a 'Christian' thing because
1.) the NYCDOE explicitly calls out Christmas as part of the winter break and no other holiday.
2.) Christmas is literally the only religious holiday that NYCDOE central employees have as a paid day off.

Or maybe Obama Day.
I'm guessing you don't live in a very diverse area. Conservatives tend not to anyway.

Same war, different battles.We've been talking about 'the War on Christmas', not school prayer in case you got lost.
Same war, different battles.
So in proggie world, two coincidences? Christmas Break became Winter Recess because people were confused about in what season it occurs? Can't mention G-d on public ground because while Jesus saves, G-d rolled a four?2 'battles' in a non-existent 'war'.
Well, good luck with that. I'll let you get back to front lines now. Watch out for the Puritans.
Political correctness is getting way out of hand. It's not right. It's our state. We are Christians. Politicians take into account the views of minorities are more than the opinion of ordinary citizens.
They need to add Lunar New Year holiday for all the Asian students.
