| If there's no Hanukkah or Kwanza decors at this light festival, then it should just be called what it really is: Christmas festival. Jeez let the Christians celebrate their holidays. |

Well as you see from that article other religions DON'T get offended by it
This type of happens because white middle class liberals take it upon THEMSELVES to decide what other people will get offended by
I don't know any Muslims that don't celebrate Christmas (Jesus will be, after all, the most important character in the Islamic faith) |

yeah, that's more accurate now that i think about it. what is up with that? how can a festive holiday upset anybody? if nobody is complaining about it why be proactive? doesn't make sense. |

No, no, it's the Winter Light festival, denomination independent. Be careful because your paganism might offend someone! |

| I think we should go back to celebrating the solstices again instead of all these other bull religions, at least we know for a fact 'nature' exists! |
