Reporter’s note: A look into how a Christian-based holiday is observed in Leelanau schools represents the second of a four-part series relating the birth of Jesus Christ with how we celebrate Christmas.

Stories about Jesus’ place in Christmas songs and why the holiday doesn’t end on Dec. 25 will follow.

Yet interpreting the First Amendment into public policy is no easy task. Especially at Christmas, our biggest holiday and one whose roots are wrapped in Christianity.
