Yet people ask why teach islam in schools, so much tension caused by ignorance not entirely the fault of the people but the government.

I even had a parent and my assistant ask me if recieving a xmas presents would offend me. I love them all - I suppose it is nice that they take my feelings into consideration.

However, stuff like drinking alcohol, guy teachers wanting to shake hands or joke about IS stuff that offends me but they dont see anything wrong with that.

why don't you ask them to give you Eid presents instead?

I wouldn't do that... I would just graciously accept it and in return always remember to give them something for Eid. Coz this year Eid and Christmas are very close I'd just make a point of clarifying your gift is coz of Eid, ie 'this is an Eid present I got you' and make sure they open it and not save it for Christmas day!.

hmmm its snowing.
