The Story of Christianity disappear from Christmas celebrations in the school drama UK. According to the study, the story was replaced "winter celebration". Research among parents shows.
Even in schools that breathe religion, now prefer the modern version of the Christmas story-often show complex interwoven stories full of twists and children who dress punk fairies, aliens, Elvis, lobster, spacemen, and even recycling bins.
The survey was conducted Netmums.com, parent website, published on Tuesday (12/02) Christmas. Even including a retelling of the story of The Apprentice emulate. Others say children during the Christmas dress materials including carrots, sprouts and pumpkin-confusing.
Only a third of the schools now again on stage telling the story of Jesus' birth complete with Mary and Joseph, the inn-keeper, shepherds and wise men, according to the survey.
While one of eight school children say they have dropped the Christmas story at all in the direction of modern alternative without reference to religion.
One of 14 schools say now choose to celebrate Christmas as a secular completely neutral with titles such as the Winter Festival or Holiday Drama.
Of those surveyed also said that they incorporate by reference the Christmas play in the Islamic Eid, Hanukkah in the Jewish, or Hindu celebration of Diwali.
The survey of more than 2,000 parents also showed that a significant minority are now openly admits to feel aggrieved that their children never act as the main character like Mary or Joseph.
More commercial
In that study also demonstrated a Christmas costume of sheets and towels-to describe dress-first century Judea became part of the past thanks to supermarkets and online retailers are offering Christmas costumes that are mass produced and inexpensive.Overall more than nine out of 10 respondents said the Christmas play at school their children varied by contemporary version, mixing biblical character and modern figures in the Christmas celebrations.
One third of respondents said their children still sing traditional songs and hymns of Christmas in the Christmas event. A quarter said that using a pop song that is the trend.
Siobhan Freegard co-founder of Netmums, said: "Do they know it's Christmas? In some schools, it seems not.
"Although Britain is a diverse and multicultural society and the rights of children to learn about all religions and cultures, many parents feel the traditional version of the story of Jesus' birth has been pressed," said Freegard.
"It seems wrong to bombard children with a commercial message about gifts and Santa without them realize the true meaning of the celebration," he continued.
This study shows that although many parents are not visible religious, desiring birth story as part of the celebration of Christmas cheer and want their schools to embrace and celebrate it. They do not want a Christmas story that may be less echoed for children.
"Christmas is about peace, acceptance, and tolerance, so let's look at more schools receive this tradition."
Security Issues?
This study also highlights new concerns about the safety and privacy descend Christmas celebration.Only a small proportion (38 percent) said that schools allow parents to take photos of the play. One of the six schools ban cameras altogether and one of seven schools limit the shooting and asked parents to buy the official video Christmas play.
Significantly, one of the three schools now ask parents to sign a form saying they are not going to share pictures on social media.
Half of parents say they have given costumes but most are now buying the most popular choices in the supermarket. In addition, sites such as eBay and Amazon are also a common source.
While nearly one in 10 parents said their child's school is now also held celebrations for Diwali, while one of 20 celebrating Eid and Thanksgiving and three per cent of schools have Hanukkah performances.
Only one percent said they are actively celebration combined with a Christmas play. Thank you for reading this article.
