Let's put up a huge fuss during Ramadan, tell them that we are offended by it. We don't want it mentioned in the school system because it's not fair to our kids.<BR/><BR/>Let's see how long our head stays attached to our body.Summerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09682011207382581532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7111372.post-34103096561988751312007-11-30T14:29:00.000-06:002007-11-30T14:29:00.000-06:00My father died a week before Christmas, this year ...My father died a week before Christmas, this year makes 8 years ago. The music brings my soul so much peace during what is such an emotionally turbulent time for me. I enjoyed your post and your praise of Music today.

Christmas is seeped in tradition passed down for generations. I hope this is one of my best Christmases ever, and I plan on having a tree and decorations. Merry Christmas dear friend!Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08461777779037445878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7111372.post-42582971544057765372007-11-30T08:23:00.000-06:002007-11-30T08:23:00.000-06:00Not being Christian myself, I tend to say 'happy h...Not being Christian myself, I tend to say 'happy holidays' but I'm certainly not offended by "Merry Christmas," or Christmas music. I actually really enjoy traditional hymns and the like. We do have a Christmas tree, obviously, but probably because I associate it more with it's ancient pagan roots, the winter solstice and that sort of thing. I don't understand people getting all up in arms and offended about the holiday though. I think for the most part, non-Christians feel like I do, to each their own, but somebody always has to make trouble...it's not always us though.Susanleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14864319996180586857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7111372.post-37030915965384079152007-11-30T06:32:00.000-06:002007-11-30T06:32:00.000-06:00I am so with you on this one Annabel; this is one ...I am so with you on this one Annabel; this is one of my biggest pet peeves. Why part of our governments and mostly no good action groups like the ACLU feel the need to change things that 90% of the public have no problem with. It's ridiculous. I love the CHRISTmas holiday and I celebrate the real reason for CHRISTmas! :o)Terrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07687207048265961972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7111372.post-52139891082992606372007-11-30T03:51:00.000-06:002007-11-30T03:51:00.000-06:00In Northern America and in Europe we live in socie...In Northern America and in Europe we live in societies that are fundamentally formed by the christian religion, our culture is based on it, on christian values. So the founder's birthday is surely a time to celebrate, as the time of his death is a time to contemplate and mourn. Christmas is a family-festivity in second line, first it is a religious date. It is nonsense to change that and ridiculous. In a society of other religious fundation other days are held high, or as in Indonesia with predominantly muslim population, seemingly naturally muslim, christian, buddhist and different chinese and other holy days are respected - and it works!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
