Christmas is Christmas, a federally recognized holiday. It can be nothing else but Christmas. They don't say "happy holidays" at the Ramadan festivities at the White House, call it what it is.Quote:

The President was joined in the State Dining Room by two Muslim American members of Congress, Keith Ellison and Andre Carson, members of the diplomatic corps, and Muslim American families and service members. During his remarks the President wished a blessed Ramadan to Muslim Americans and Muslims around the world:
To the millions of Muslim Americans across the United States and more -- the more than one billion Muslims around the world, Ramadan is a time of reflection and a time of devotion. It’s an occasion to join with family and friends in celebration of a faith known for its diversity and a commitment to justice and the dignity of all human beings. So to you and your families, Ramadan Kareem.
I didn't see any mention of "holidays" in his remarks, happy or otherwise.
Christmas has been and always will be first about the birth of Jesus.Quote:

I could've sworn the President called it the Holiday Candelabra when he lit all the candles on the Menorah at once during the White House Hanukkah celebration(2 weeks early ) .
Obama violates protocol by lighting candles on the menorah before Hanukkah - NYPOST.com
LOL, what a boob. Takes care to have a nice Ramadan bash and remains clueless about Hanukkah.
If I didn't know you were joking I would say you are niaive. Christmas has become what materialism made it, the invention of commercialism. There is only one thing that Christmas is about, God's gift to the world. It isn't about anythingelseQuote:

Praclete, in the US it's always about making a buck.
NK, I get it but it doesn't matter whether anyone actually celebrates Christmas (literally "Christ mass") for the intended purpose, it is still the commemoration of Christ's birth. Period.Quote:
