jamie, because there are some DUMB people in this world.. i WANT to celebrate CHRISTmas, with a tree, and talk about jesus being born.. if my neighbor dosent want to, um.. ok.. well then he doesnt have to..
this time of the year is about spending time with family, being /THANKFUL of what and who you have, and practicing your religion!
when i send out christmas cards, i say MERRY CHRISTMAS, because thats what i celebrate.. if someone tells me happy chaunaka(sc) i will tell them the same back out of respect of there religion!.. i dont want any attitudes because of what you, and i practice is diffrent than what someone else practices,.. ya know?

WHY CANT EVERYONE JUST GET ALONG!!!!
