Why are they excluding people by calling it Halloween?? Which religion does Halloween belong too? European Holiday, it celebrates 'All Hallows Evening". the eve of the Western Christian feast of All Hallows' Day. It begins the three-day observance of Allhallowtide, the time in the liturgical year dedicated to remembering the dead, including saints (hallows), martyrs, and all the faithful departed. It is widely believed that many Halloween traditions originated from ancient Celtic harvest festivals, particularly the Gaelic festival Samhain; that such festivals may have had pagan roots; and that Samhain itself was Christianized as Halloween by the early Church. <cite>SamuelHayden posted [p:891135568] in How far wi...

There aren't 5 different Spring holidays that are celebrated in the U.S., for example. Not to mention, most retail stores would simply emphasize on Spring, not Easter. Which are these 5 holidays? Only Hanukah comes to mind. Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanza. Yeah, I can only think of three Yeah. And how many times are snowflakes, Christmas trees... errrr, 'holiday trees', gifts (usually under one of those holiday trees) and Santa Claus associated with Hanukkah or Kwanzaa? Kwanzaa itself is more of a celebration of African American culture too, it's not a holiday such as Kanukkah, Diwali, Eid or Christmas. <cite>SamuelHayden posted [p:891136939] in How far wi...

SamuelHayden 11/27/17 10:29:19 AM #43:	Yeah I don't get why Christmas must be called 'holiday' and not 'Christmas' not to offend anti-Christmas people, while other holidays don't get the same treatment. Literally nobody will see a 'holiday tree' with 'holiday gifts' under it and a 'holiday man'' dressed in red with a white beard and think 'look! That could be Dongzhi'! or 'I feel alienated because this holiday tree says Merry Christmas, I thought it was a Kwanzaa tree'. Silly shit like this just gives people like 45 excuses to find new boogeymen. <cite>SamuelHayden posted [p:891137120] in How far wi...

Businesses have a goal in mind: Make Money. With that goal in mind, being inclusive instead of exclusive makes them more money. It isn't anymore complicated than that. So let's be inclusive, if they sell Hanukah/Kwanzaa/Donghi stuff, call it 'Holiday' stuff too.
