Nice try. The slow systematic deconstruction of everything Christmas ruled out the option of "Christmas crafts" in school long ago. They are now after anything that can be associated with or implied to encompass Christmas.

Sounds to me like it was more about keeping the children busy, teaching motor skills and occupying the time while their parents work rather than a drive-by conversion attempt.
