Thread Name: BS: Secular vs Religious Public Celebrations
Subject: RE: BS: Secular vs Religious Public Celebrations
It must be like living in a forign country when everyone is celibrating Happy Whatever Day. I'm not sure that I could be upset if everyone was wishing me a "Happy Whatever Day" - I'd do my best just to try to deal with the situation. True - the media because of advertising has it in our face every few minutes - but I think I could get past that too.
But this did start as a religious holiday - and then turned into a secular one. We went from Merry Christmas to Happy Holidays. I respect a persons need to NOT celibrate this time of year and I would hope that no one would be upset if I DO. I'll not drag anyone to a Christmas Eve service - so don't be upset if I have a Nativity scene in my house. But the Nativity displays need to be at my house. Not on the courthouse lawn.
