[quote=Anonymous]As a Hindu, I am very secure in my beliefs and spirituality. I do not think that adopting the celebration part of any festival from any other country, religion etc. will make me less of a Hindu.  My kids are very aware and informed about different religions as well as their traditions.

Maybe it is due to my upbringing in India as a Fauji kid, but we were raised to be secular and inclusive. We counted as friends, colleagues, neighbors - people from all religions, regions, backgrounds - and became richer in our life experiences because of that.  Now, in this country, we are in a position to do  the same in a larger, global scale.  So, why not?  As you come to know other cultures, you see a lot of similarity between their traditions and your traditions.

So, Bring on the Halloween, the Valentine's Day, Christmas, Thanksgiving, 4th of July, New Year, Easter Egg Hunt, Chinese New Year, Eid, Navroz, Hanukkah, St. Patrick's Day, Onam, Baisakhi, Lorhi,  Guru Parb...We celebrate everything and we also celebrate Diwali, Holi, Rakhi, Navratri. [/quote]
