You don't have to address them at all if you don't want. But IF you will have any activities for Thanksgiving, Christmas etc you might put that in there and if it will not be religious based you can say that also. You can just say something like "we will have holiday parties, if you have questions feel free to ask". I am a Christian home, and my parents sign a waiver for "religious" activities, if they choose to. I don't do a lot of religion but at Christmas time we may read the Christmas story, or read stories from a Children's Bible, but ONLY if all kids in care that day have the waiver signed. It is something I offer, but don't force.
