[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why the f are Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur and Diwali holidays now?[/quote]
...Why are Christmas and Easter 2 weeks and 1 week long, respectively?[/quote]

Because that is the majority in the country. [/quote]
You don't need a week to celebrate Easter (maybe a long weekend if you want to include Good Friday) and the entire week before Christmas.[/quote]

Yes you do. If you celebrated those holidays you would understand. There is a lot of preparation for Christmas and Christmas Eve that takes place the whole month. There are gingerbread houses to be made, cookies, shopping, presents to be wrapped, decorating the house and tree. Going to see lights.  It’s the whole month of December. We don’t just roll up to the actual day of the holiday and say Merry Christmas and hope everything comes together. Having that week off is essential.kids there may be traveling.[/quote]

Oh, please. Gingerbread houses and going to see the lights are wants, not needs. Do them on the weekends or after school/work. Or, you know, just stop whining about school being closed for OTHER religions’ holidays.[/quote]

Nope. There’s too much homework assigned during the week and our kids never get a break during the week. It’s too much to do on a weekend to prepare. We need the whole week.  Other holidays are not as big as Christmas and don’t need much time.[/quote]
Clarification question: You mean other CHRISTIAN holidays are not as big as Christmas, right? I mean, my grandma's pastor would have some words for you about Easter, but, sure, Christmas is big. For Christians. You're definitely not suggesting that Christmas is bigger to non-Christians than their own holidays? Right?[/quote]
