Happy Hanukkah!

(Started last night)

im not jewish, i just believe that everyone should beable to celebrate. and not be "held down" by social norms that make Xmas, the holiday of december.

Heh -- if we're going to talk about social convention and partying in December, you'll have to go back a lot further than Christian influences in Europe. Winter solstice feasting was a big thing for ancient cultures (think Rome, Greece, Celts, etc).

I'm not saying that Christianity MADE december what it is. Im just saying that in todays world, everything is xmas trees, xmas lights, xmas etc.

I really dont wanna get into religion debates cuz they always blow up on here.

the point of the thread was to wish those who celebrate Hanukkah, a happy holiday, because I bet they dont hear it as much as we'd all like to believe.

Happy Yule (sp) to u Galcobar (you still have 2 Weeks)
