Abstract

Some Muslim teachers are present during the Christmas celebration at the public middle school in Pangkalan Bun, Central Kalimantan and are even engaged in wishing "Merry Christmas"; but many others do not attend the rituals of celebration or are able to wish "Merry Christmas". That is to say, the religious diversity in the school in question, leads to celebrate Christmas in a plural way and according to the opinion of the six religions that coexist in the educational campus. All Muslim teachers are selective about the halal or haram foods and drinks served during the celebrations; some also do not participate in worship activities during the celebration. Muslims and non-muslims already understood each teacher's attitudes and views and gave each other opportunities according to religion and beliefs.
