I'm pretty sure Christmas is (or was at one time) a religious holiday. mark Well Santa and a Christmas tree is certainly religious, but Pagan in origin...Christmas can be described by some as somebody's birthday but it is a commercial holiday, observed with gusto in places like Japan, which is mostly Shinto. I just returned from doing training with our operations in India. I attended their office Christmas party. They let me into the "Secret Santa" pool. They get Christmas Day off work. India is mostly Hindu, but seems happy to add one more holiday to the mix. Didn't like the 'bent, don't like any in your face Christian references. It's hard to say that a mention of a bible verse -- without even listing the wording of the verse itself -- is particularly "in your face", but then it's your face, not mine. Enjoy Kwanza |

BTW, was Louis in "Duck Soup"? ;-) |
