Not a problem I don't think anyone has suggested that there's anything wrong with that. I just don't see what the big deal is with wishing someone who is Jewish a happy Chanukah, or Pagan a "merry Yule", since that is what they celebrate.

I don't see anyone complaining about other holidays that are celebrated this time of year, so why do so many worry about Christmas. It seems to me that it's those who wish others "merry Christmas" who make a big thing out of this while others just move on with life.

Since some don't celebrate Christmas, it seems rather foolish to wish them a happy holiday that they don't celebrate. Sorta on par with wishing someone, "happy my birthday". They may be uninterested in and indifferent to your birthday, so why bother do it.

The whole issue seems rather foolish to me.

Actually I am enjoying my celebration of Kwanzaa, but thanks.



And yes we are having a lot of fun feasting and celebrating!!

Merry Kwanzaa THY! i wish you and your family a great time!

Firstly chanukah is a very minor holiday in comparison to Christmas meaning that Christmas is a major catholic/christian holiday ( either #1 or #2 probably #1 ) and Chanukah is a very minor jewish holiday.

As far as pagans there just arent that many in the US as a percentage.

Thirdly, the US was founded in christianity which leads to the setting of the basic holidays. Like holloween, christmas, easter etc ... These holidays are part of US tradition and the fact that they are founded in religion is really trumped by the fact that these are the holidays that the founding fathers celebrated and have made US holidays.

Celebrating christmas does not make you not a jew or not a pagan. In the same way a cristian going to a barmitzva makes them not a cristian.

I dont have an issue adding another holiday of different religious background to the US list of holidays ... but I dont think we should mess with Christmas.

Merry Christmas to ALL.

I hope that everyone is as merry or happy as they can be every day of the year (except days which you choose to be more somber for whatever reason).

For various probably obvious reasons, I'm closing this thread.
