This time of year is sacred and holy all over the world, and in many different cultures. It may have different meanings in different cultures, but in general it is a time to come together with family and friends, and to honor your God or Gods. I don't care how many different religions have a holiday this time of year -- Jews have Hanuka, Christians have Christmas, Wiccans, Druids, and some other Pagan traditions have Yule or the Winter Solstice. So why are we fighting over it? Why so many questions arguing over the Pagan origins of Christmas, and who "stole" who's holiday? OK, so there are some Christmas traditions that have Pagan origins. So what? I, for one, am willing to share the day. Are you? This should be a time of year where we set aside our differences, and try to get along. So, could we, the people of R&S, agree to share this holiday season peacefully, without arguing over who's holiday it is? Peace on Earth, good will toward your fellow human beings, right?
