[HPFGU-OTChatter] Re: What's wrong with "Merry Christmas"?

[Lee Storm(God Is The Healing Force)]

You know, I think all this is starting to get really nit-picky!

I know a lot of Jewish people who celebrate or at least enjoy Christmas as
well as Hanukkah.  One of my best friends was Jewish and loved baking
Christmas cookies, and we loved eating them. <Grin>

In the Potter books, the greeting is "Happy Christmas" or "Merry Christmas,"
the students go home or stay over the Christmas Holidays, they eat Christmas
puddings in the great hall decorated with Christmas trees.  I'm sure there
are students who come from other persuasions but they don't create a
brouhaha about the word "Christmas."

Now, if they have no problems with Christmas, why should anyone?  Perhaps if
one thinks of Christmas as a culmination of all the Holidays or Holy Days of
the season, life would be less stressed. :-)  Just my knut's worth.

Peace To All,

Lee :-)
