Quoting alameda: Some people get caught up in the propaganda to buy buy buy...you don't really love enough unless you spend spend spend. Children are "taught" to nag for the latest fad toy. It's really quite disgusting
Where I work we have a mix of Athiest, Buddist,Christian, Hindu and Muslims (note alphabetical line up there)...and we have a Holiday party.
The sentiment is still Peace on Earth, Good Will towards all. |
Agreeing with you again Alameda 
EXCEPT...I wonder do the Buddists, Hindus and Muslims share and modify their religious days and make them non-religious holiday parties too?

Alameda I would NEVER doubt your word. However, I do find it hard to believe that any muslim would be happy to remove the religious aspect of their day and call it simply a "holiday party" in order to celebrate it with you.
I think, perhaps, they would include you in their religious day, but they would not change the name of it or remove the religious aspects.
I hope you prove me wrong!

At least the Christians, Hindus and Muslims do. The Jewish holidays have been subdued. I wished our Jewish co-workers well, but there was no recognition of the holidays on their part. Tomorrow is the Hindu Diwali celebration. Some of our Hindu co-workers are bringing in something to celebrate it.
For the , Kurban Bayram Kurban meat was brought in.
