Christmas was first celebrated as the birth of Jesus Christ. This is technically a religious holiday and since school and religion are supposed to be kept seperate, they try to stay away from saying merry christmas.

Because politcal correctness has run amuck. If we are referring to schools within USA, we would do well to remember that this country was founded on Christian principles. I have no problem with wishing a happy Chanukkah also. A democracy best serves the majority and should not consider catering to the few who disagree.
