Why do you celebrate others holidays?  [/quote]

Because they are ingrained in American culture. It's like asking why Chinese immigrants celebrate Thanksgiving.[/quote]

Thanksgiving is the ultimate feast of immigrants—that’s what the Puritans were, after all. Plus it doesn’t require that you pray to a specific god.  It’s different. A better analogy would be asking why Chinese immigrants celebrate Christmas or Hanukkah.[/quote]

Many Chinese celebrate Christmas because they are Christian.  This is why it is silly to call Christmas an "American" holiday.

If that is true, it is also a Mexican, Brazilian, Spanish, Italian, Rawandan, Angolan, etc holiday.  And this says nothing of the countries that have many christians, but not a majority.

Christmas is an American holiday only in the sense that most Americans celebrate it, nothing more or less.[/quote]
