Reply #67: try and reflect on those who do feel persecuted

[mediawatch]

I for many years at work would not say Merry Christmas in fear that I was being Politically Incorrect and worse fired. Then I started acknowledging other Holidays from other religions to my colleagues. To my Hindu friends I say happy Navaratri, twice a year. They smile. To my muslim friends I wish them a happy Ramadan and of course to my jewish friends I wish them a happy hanukkah.

At Christmas time, I once again have started decorating and wish everyone a Merry Christmas. I have even dared to put up a nativity of Jesus. This is at work where we share multiple religions. I do ask those around me first if they are offended. All have replied no, accept for one woman. She was an atheist, but left to work for another company. Which allowed my to then set up my Nativity scene.

In my America I would love to see all religious holidays celebrated. I would love to learn about all of them.
