Many people associate winter time with Christmas, a Christian holiday that now is celebrated by many non-Christians. But, whatever you celebrate this time of year, be it Hanukkah, Eid al-Adha, Bodhi Day, Navratri, or the dozens of religious or secular celebrations, celebrate it here in this forum.
Below, I'll start with a five stanza refrain. Add a stanza on your celebration. Please, try to keep the same AABBA rhyme scheme, and hopefully try to keep the beat. Before long, we'll have a song.
Good spirits are rising this time of year,
Filling people with hopefulness and cheer,
You know that's it's true,
Especially for you,
Share a bit as the holidays grow near.
Embrace the ones you love,
begin to spread the hub love,
wishing upon a star,
all of us know who you are,
Forgive the ones that have shamed your name,
Love your neighbors as yourself,
Its the most wonderful time of the year,
and a partridge in a pear tree . . .
(sorry, just being a jackass)
as you were . . .
Sing of partridges in a pear tree.
Holiday joy for you and me.
Gather friends and family near.
For this time of holiday cheer.
(wsp, even your lyrics can be turned into a traditional and "non-J.A." kind of thing....)
Its the most wonderful time of the year,
WSP2469 has having a little wine,
fiercycj is placing balls of holly,
carefully on the vine,
Visions of sugarplums in Hubbers' heads,
and there's baking of pies and fruit and nut breads.
All through the religious forum there's peace.
For just a brief time all the arguments cease.
It's that time of the year,
when the jolly Santa Claus is here.
Planting presents underneath the tree,
filling stockings maybe two or three.
I didn't make the 'list' this time I fear.
Nothing but coals...oh dear...oh dear!

Does anyone know any person; a friend, neighbor, sibling, acquaintance, work mate e.t.c who is not a Christian? In the light of the Christmas mood and spirit, what gift do you think is best to share with such a person?

If you don't celebrate Christmas as a religious holiday, how do you usually spend December 25th?Do you celebrate the day as a secular holiday? Is December 25th just another day of the week for you?

I think every parent has thought about this. What issues did you consider and what was your final decision?

Does your faith effect how you celebrate Halloween?
by LastRoseofSummer2 11 years ago
Do you celebrate Halloween for religious reasons or do you celebrate it just for fun?Do you celebrate Halloween simply because you like dressing up, spending time with your kids, and having fun, or do you celebrate it because you consider it a religious holiday? By religious I mean something along...
