happy Holidays or Happy Christmas? OT

[Guest guest]

Well, I probably shouldn't go here, but I'd just like to say that I

prefer Happy Holidays because I celebrate Winter Solstice (today),

christmas, boxing day and New Year's. It's a holiday season and I

celebrate it in a secular way.

 

There are many wonderful cultures that make up this country and I

think it quite appropriate to include everyone.

 

Historically christmas was created to dissuade the Pagans (people

living outside of Rome) from celebrating Winter Solstice. The

christmas tree is actually from this old earth based religion.

 

I don't know much about the story of Kwanzaa and Hanukkah, any members

here celebrate these?
