The traditional school nativity play is under pressure to modernise the story and remove religious figures, according to users of a parenting website.
Parents on Netmums have given examples of characters such as spacemen, Elvis Presley and footballers being introduced to the nativity story.
There are also claims Christmas plays are being called "winter celebrations".
Netmums co-founder Siobhan Freegard said parents were concerned Christmas traditions were being "pushed aside".
-----------------------------------
The "Christians" hijacked this festival (Saturnalia) from the Romans from the 4th C to try and take the pagan masses with them so Christmas is not really about baby J and his fake birthday...
