Happy holidays and Merry Christmas to all of the forum readers and writers...
The celebration of Christ€™s birth is when all of us, regardless of our religious or cultural background and regardless of whether or not we even believe in God, can reflect on how fortunate we are to live in countries that value freedom of religion and freedom of speech.
I'm assuming that most of us here are Yanks, Pommies or Aussies with some Euros thrown in for good measure!
Christmas time is a time for people to get together, to be with family and friends and, a time to care and think about others.
Christmas also evokes feelings of community harmony (such as this great message board) and is an opportunity for all of us to think about how to influence community change by dispelling misconceptions about other cultures and religions and by reinforcing the basic principles of respect and understanding for all.
These are principles we can all work towards in the New Year.
Thank you and bless you, except fucking Muslims!
Just joshing, Mohamed. Merry Christmas to you too!
