I guess not, because last year and this year people were sued for bringing in candy canes to a public school.Anybody can sue anyone for anything, it doesn't make anyone right, until the case has been adjudicated. The reason why there is a holiday season is because of the birth of Jesus Christ. To many people this is not a reason for celebration. Hanukkah would probably not take place around this time of year... Yes it WOULD take place at this time of year. Chanukah is NOT the Jewish Christmas and it has NOTHING to do with Christmas. It's celebration PREDATES that of Christmas. ...or be a big celebration at all if it was not for Christmas. Of course it wouldn't. But why should Chanukah be a big celebration? Chanukah was never a particularly important holiday. And not to offend anyone who celebrated it, but Kwanzaa is pretty much a made up holiday which occurs around the same time as Christmas to be with the other holidays. So what? Every holiday is made up. Christmas is pretty much a made up holiday which occurs around the same time as Saturnalia to be with the other holidays. The first one was Christmas and it is what started the whole thing. Nope, the first one was the pagan celebration of the winter solstice. Do some research before making statements. THEREFORE, if there was no Jesus, there would most likely be no holiday season. Of course, there would be, as I've already mentioned, but what is your point? The fact that the holiday is based on Jesus simply makes it that much worse that the state is celebrating it. |
