To anyone who's not a Christian...
Have you ever been asked if you celebrate Christmas or not? Or any other popular holiday for that matter? 'Cause I'm supposed to write an Op-Ed paper for my journalism class and I want to write about political correctness in holidays but I can't decide whether or not it happens often enough for that to be my topic.
I was thinking that I could write about how nowadays there's Kwanzaa wrapping paper and Ohm signs on ornaments and stuff...I dunno. I'm having major writer's block because it's vacation...anyone have any ideas?

um...yeah. People have asked me if I celebrate Christmas. Well, we haven't celebrated Christmas for the last two years, but yeah. Never celebrated Easter though. I mean, my aunt used to buy us chocolate bunnies but we didn't really celebrate. But we celebrated Halloween! I
But I think its because Easter was kind of actually religious, but Christmas always seemed more social than religious. We couldn't really do anything for Easter, except egg-hunts and such at school. We had an egg hunt at home one year, I think. But here, everyone celebrates Diwali, Muslim Christian or Hindu. Everyone goes out and buys fireworks and lights up the streets. It's fantastic.

i live in a christian family, although ive decided to just be 'agnostic' for the time being.
Ive realised that by living in our society where the main religion is christianity, its become a little ignorant, what with all of the christmas music playing in shops, advertising weeks before christmas, and the people who greet you with a 'merry christmas', it only reminds me why i chose to not follow that religion, i couldnt stand it.
How about a Jewish person at work, greeting a person, they both finish their conversations, the other person tells the jewish one to 'have a merry christmas'.
I just think people should be a little less narrow minded towards these things because christmas is a religious event, not a huge party.

I think you should maybe mix all of your ideas into the paper. Find away to tie them all together.
And yes I have been asked if I celebrate christmas. My answer is yes, because personaly I dont even see many christians celebrating it for it reason.
