No Christmas For You! **Language Warning**
http://www.illwillpress.com/
Especially humorous to me because I might express myself to friends exactly the way that creature thing did... Well... Without the funny voice...

I bet your voice sounds the same.

It's a squirrel. One thing though. While I am not offended by school Christmas plays, I do think that if the school endorses one major religion, it shouldn endorse them all, by celebrating and putting on a play for one holiday a year from each religion that is represented by someone in the student body or faculty. |

I think that forbidding mention of christmas because it might offend a jew, muslim, atheist or some other religion is just silly. Let's be more tolerant, not less... Oh, and if so, then that's one ugly squirrel...

Re: No Christmas For You! **Language Warning**
That was pretty good. I'm with you guys, especially the part about the multicultural holiday events, however that could get complicated in places like New York where there are so many religions represented.

Re: No Christmas For You! **Language Warning**
What ever happened to Christmas anyways? All of a sudden it was like... gone?
Now I have Virgin Mobile singing Chrismahanukwanzakah every time I turn on a radio or the television. Where's Christmas? It's a subtitle. I'm all for respecting other religion's holidays, and I try to If I'm informed of them. But I'm starting to be afraid of what holiday's my kid's will be celebrating (When I have kids, that is.) It hasn't felt like Christmas anywhere the past few years.

Re: No Christmas For You! **Language Warning**
In my primary school we celebrated just about every religious holiday of every religion represented at the school. Since The school was about equal parts white / muslim/ sikh / afro-caribean with a few Jews and Hindhus we had a "religious assembly" a couple of times a month. We also had a school "international day" when all cultures were celebrated. I am grateful for growing up in such a diverse environment even if it was over politically correct. I am glad that I know so much about other cultures and religions.
I now live in an area with a massive muslim population. A month or so ago one night, every road was blocked for miles around. The roads were bumper to bumper with suped up cars with suped up sound system each packed full of partying Asians and the sky was filled with fireworks all night. Many of my friends from more rural parts asked what was going on. I said "oh it's just Eid." Blanks stares... "you know, the end of Ramadan?" more blank stares...

Re: No Christmas For You! **Language Warning**
I hate it when that happens. I went to one of those barmitzma thingeys and i didn't understand a single word. it wouldn't have been so boring if i had understood any of it.

Re: No Christmas For You! **Language Warning**
It annoyed me when people said "Merry Christmas" to me at stores when I was out getting stuff. I honestly just think it's ignorant. Yet I just say "Happy Hannukah" back. Then I get a confused expression.
