[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder if the responses would be any different if OP were Christian and referring to another religion's holiday. Ex: I am not Jewish but my Jewish BIL and SIL are sucking all of the fun out of Hanukah for me and my kids. I just want to focus on the presents but those old stick in the muds are making it about service and religion. [b]Or I am not Muslim but my Muslim BIL/SIL are sucking all of the fun out of Ramadan for me and my kids[/b]...you get the picture.[/quote]

I think if people tried to celebrate other religious holidays like a joke it would considered offensive.  I have many Muslim family members and would never dream of making any of there holidays into something else, but apparently it's okay to assault Christian holidays. [/quote]

How would it be offensive if they are doing it in their own home?  If no one else knows that you are celebrating Hanukah even though you aren't Jewish, what is the problem?[/quote]

Isn't Ramandan not a lot of fun anyway?  I thought the whole point of Ramadan is sacrifice, prayer and fasting, and Eid it the celebratory holiday.[/quote]
