Every year schools and nurseries around the UK debate whether to do traditional religious nativity plays or whether to do events unconnected with Christmas.
At Musical Minis we feel that as we live in the UK, where December is geared up to celebrating Christmas we should support the season although not in a religious way. We have chosen to have Christmas sessions which do capture the excitement and atmosphere of Christmas. However, we do not include any religious songs or carols. A number of religions celebrate festivals in December but none of these religions have songs included in the Musical Minis sessions either.
Musical Minis aim is to include all religions, races and cultures in all our sessions, including our Christmas session. We would not wish to offend anyone by imposing religious celebrations. We do live in a multi faith and a multi cultural society but December in the UK is geared to Christmas. We celebrate the season with songs like 'Jingle Bells' and 'We Wish You A Merry Christmas' which are seasonal but non religious.
We hope that we have found the ideal balance which allows everyone to join in the fun whatever their religious beliefs. To find your local Musical Minis class please click here.
