#history Although we normally associate the origin of Christmas with the religion of Christians and Catholicism, since it represents the birth of the child Jesus; in reality, this is a mistake, at least as we have accepted Christmas today.

Precisely, because of this doubt between pagan Christmas and Christian Christmas, there was a case in 1990 in which the school board of Solon (Ohio) decided to eliminate all representations of Christmas in any school environment, since it was a practice against the secular state of the city, that is, it did not respect the separation between Church and State. Likewise, the junta lost the case because the families opposed their children not being able to celebrate Christmas at school, arguing that the practice of Christmas was a secular act and was part of all cultures of the world. Despite the fact that the junta lost the case, they did manage to eliminate the prayers and reading of the Bible, associated with the celebration of Christmas.
