I have 2 kids and 9 different dress up days next week. This is ridiculous. 1. It expects families to be able to go out at the drop of a hat and get multiple Christmas character shirts and ugly sweaters at the most expensive time of year… 1/3

It’s just another way to alienate kids whose families can’t afford a bunch of extra stuff or the mental load of the extra work. 2. It also assumes EVERYONE in the school celebrates Christmas and creates a whole week out of dressing up for it… 2/3

I’m just pointing out that it’s extra work and money when kids want to participate. And how it’s alienating when they want to but can’t afford it. Christmas is already a time that highlights financial differences in families and this really magnifies it more.

Some comments before I mute- “Just don’t do it” is a silly response to a kid excited to dress up. I have 1 kid who doesn’t much care & one who cares a lot & would feel very left out if I said to suck it up. Obviously it’s optional and you can do whatever works for your family.

I think this past year hurts so much because I just expected Christians to care about others. To be better than the world. To care about abuse. To care about women. To care about the sick. To care about the poor. To care about the oppressed. But so many just don’t.
