[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kindergartener is happy to learn about any religious holiday if something delicious is involved. The more shots on goal for special snacks, the better. [/quote] Yes, but...  people fast for Ramadan. People fast for Yom Kippur and the Ninth of Av. It's not cute to reduce my religion to a coloring page and a snack.[/quote]

Many people learn about other cultures through food. But by all means, go with scolding. I’m sure it’s just as effective.

Late stage capitalism/dollar store economics reduces everyone's meaningful holidays and belief to the equivalent of a coloring page and a snack.  It doesn't discriminate.

One of the things that I've most noticed was the Chinese export business hollowing out locally-made handicrafts from Hungary to Egypt to the American Southwest.  I sometimes wonder about how this can really be considered economic progress.

The whole point of holidays is to celebrate. [/quote]

Right.  But in olden times people celebrated by making handicrafts.  Now they go to stores and buy them.  So buying is a lot of the celebration now.[/quote]
