If you have ever read this forum, you know that nobody tells me what to say..

I have 1 friend who celebrates Solstice, 1 who is Jewish, 1 Muslim and many who are Hindu. I work in a very liberal setting. Most of my friends enjoy Santa Claus, because their children go to school and they don't want their kids to feel left out of the festivities, but they are not Christian, and don't claim to be. I ask them all the time about their beliefs because I am geniunely interested. I explain my Catholic beliefs if they ask, but I would never think my beliefs superior to theirs. Actually, once you take out all the fluff, all of our beliefs are very similar. Most of us believe in the same God, even the Hindu belief of Krishna is very similar. I offer Happy Holidays to everyone, without prejudice.
