I checked out the book and discovered to my horror that it's a home remedy book on how to threat syphilis!!!!!!!!
Of course. Who isn't sending that one home to their folks for Christmas?

I've never had any objection to Christmas, or any holiday for that matter, in Korea. I think it's a really good way to learn about other cultures. Learning language doesn't always have to be about the language itself. If you really want to do some Christmas things at your school, try to tell your director that the students will be learning things about different cultures as well as new vocab that there is no other appropriate time to introduce. (ie. What did you do yesterday? I decorated the Christmas Tree and ate a candy cane. Hard to teach any other time of year.)
