my jewish friends don't ask me to do things they do on their holidays, my christian friends don't ask me not to do things on their holidays, why push their things on anyone?  just go do what you do and go about it. [/quote]

Terrific. Then send your kids to school on Christmas. No, wait, school is closed on Christmas. [/quote]

I would if it was open, christmas on dec 25th is a made up holiday.  if you read the bible the true time of that was most llikely march. [/quote]

Yes, exactly. Your Christian friends don't have to ask you not to send your child to school on Christmas (a Christian holiday), because school is closed. How come asking people to keep their children home on Eid is "pushing their things" on you, but making people keep their children home on Christmas isn't?[/quote]

George Washington celebrated Christmas as did many others in the 1700's.  Puritans were in New England.

Dec 25 has more meaning in the USA to those who care about this country.  Real people lived here and struggled to make it what it is today.  They all didn't just fly over and plop.[/quote]

Yes, they didn't fly over and plop because they didn't have airplanes back then. I believe they plopped over on their ships and proceeded to kill and convert the natives and use African slave labor to build up their new world. Admirable.[/quote]
