[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My Indian neighbors celebrate Diwali and put up a Christmas tree in December. They give their kids Easter baskets and celebrate Holi.

Cultural mash-ups are part of what makes America glorious.  Our best cultural contributions (rock, jazz, Southern food, Asian fusion) are mash-ups.

You can be butt hurt all you want because a bunch of white women practice yoga exercises, but it doesn't matter. Nobody gives a shit. [/quote]

Do the Indian people you know that put up a Christmas tree have an organization changing Christmas to Krishnamas, celebrating the birth of Lord Krishna.  Do they say it's a cultural mashup and that a cradle with Baby Krishna should be placed on a makeshift manger outside.  Have they patented whatever different worship methods you do on Christmas and say it's their own now?

Not sure about the Indians, but quite a few Jewish people (and people in mixed Jewish Christian marriages) do something like that.

Jewish kabbalah,  Sufism, and medieval Christian mysticism likely all influenced one another,  included passing spiritual "techniques" back and forth.
