From the BHS Burlingame B newspaper comes these results from a poll sent out to eight English teachers who polled 480 students at BHS:

The results…were not unexpected. About 85% of the students a Burlingame High School celebrate Christmas, 2% celebrate Hanukkah, 4% celebrate Christmas and Hanukkah, 6% of students celebrate a different holiday or no holiday at all and 3% celebrate Kwanza (sic).

An editorial in the B goes on to ask:

"Do advertisements play the game of favoritism? I feel that although they make an attempt to incorporate elements of different holidays, they focus primarily on Christmas. Perhaps they feel that will bring them more business since Christmas appears to be the most popular holiday in America.

Perhaps.
