Christmas Break use to extend for the full 12 days of christmas and almost always all the days of Chanukah. Then politically correct school board members came and made the break winter break. Now the dates in the past have no longer accommodated those not Christian. *Yes I am aware that Chanukah has been rather really early in the past few years but those still use to be* Winter break happens now at the end of the second quarter.
You say these like this is all because of a Christian, but pretty much all school breaks come at the end of grading periods, or quarters. Also many school are having a later Spring break in favor of giving a mid semester break or Winter Break. They position breaks like this so students do not have to worry about studying over them.
