OT Another Christmas joke

I did laugh - really I did. And I plan to pass this one on to my sewing group tonight.

But I also sighed - last year our local kindergarten was not allowed to hold "traditional" Christmas celebrations because our political leaders did not want to risk offending any non-Christian locals!! My Buddhist friends were very surprised as they join us for Christmas celebrations, and share their festivals with us. I'm not sure what is happening this year.

Oh, this age of political correctness. I vote for a little less "correctness" and a little more "tolerance"!

I agree Diana. Differences are what makes us interesting and fun. Heck, think of how many parties you could go too? I will pass it one on also.

so i guess i wont get a card from her then, lol. snorfle. always missing out on us (as in we) non religious who do xmas as any excuse for a party and some good old fashioned s.e.x. and an excuse to get all the kids back home for a few days together once a yr. :)) cheers, jeanne

That a super one, Kathyl! Thanks. I think it should supersede the resurrected one in your library of jokes. It is so different from the other two, and *very* funny, I think the three of you should be a trio of jokes for next year. Just get together and hit us with them >g<

Now, don't lose this one!! Perhaps print it out on actual paper? >g< . In message , KJ writes

we found a way at our preschool.

all the parents bring something for the party potluck table and *everyone* gets to share. admittedly if this happened during Ramadan then the mothers would not be eating anything but they do bring something to eat and the children all eat and enjoy.

we also sit with our child and make something - last time it was a glass jar candle holder

All the parents love this as an activity and fun is had by all :-)

Let's see...I could store it with my Christmas lights. No, that won't work. We put up the replacement lights yesterday afternoon. Now I have to finish the outside decorating today...and the wind chill factor is only

-20! Good timing huh? I think I'll work on some fabric bowls for a silent auction later this week, get ready for my brother's visit, our small group Christmas party food and gift instead. Why am I sitting at the computer?? Bye! KJ

I wrote as an observer, not as a participant. I would class myself as non-religious, and any celebrating I do is non-religious for me. That does not mean I cannot join others in their festivals and observances. I respect their beliefs and ask only that they do the same for me and others.

Went to a WI Carol Concert this afternoon, which, although it was not geared as a religious function was introduced by the lady vicar as it took place in a church.

She said 'Christmas is a gift given by Christians to the world, so what ever your religious beliefs or unbeliefs, it is still a gift to you'
