yes several times. we learned a lot from each other and there is where I developed the idea the only real difference between one Religion and another are the NAMES they refer to GOD as along with the difference in the way each perform their Rituals and Ceremonies to Praise, Honor, Worship, Adore, Pray to and Petition, Thank Etc. Etc. what they consider proper. other than these differences all are the same

Never participated in a holiday but I have gone to Churches of different denominations and gone to gatherings. It is mildly strange but not that weird. People are people. It's not like they're slaughtering goats.

I've participated in Ramadan several times in my life (my husband's family is Muslim and my mother converted to Islam when I was in high school). Although it is not my faith, I appreciated the experiences. I enjoyed the experiences because it teaches you disipline and suffering. It truly makes you grateful for your blessings in life. Some people cannot eat everyday whenever they want. When my daughter becomes of age I plan to encourage her to learn about other faiths and beliefs.

Yep, I celebrated Hannakah with a college friend, and a passover meal with my aunt, and a chinese new year with my friend (kind of a spiritual thing for them).
It was lots of fun, and nobody asked me to do anything against my beliefs so it was great. It was mostly people saying "here, eat some good food." I'm always game for that.

I've been Pagan since 1997 and still celebrate Christmas with my family.
I have also been to a friend's family's Hanukkah celebration and celebrated Kwanzaa with a friend, even though I am white.

Number of years back I attended Yom Kippur service at a Reform Judiasm synagogue. It was rather comforting, the texts they had at the time had transliterated Hebrew for people who could not read Hebrew.
One thing that always stuck with me through all these years ones one phrase that struck home. "On Rosh Hashanah it is written, on Yom Kippur it is sealed."
I've never quite understood why that resonates so strongly with me.

Doesn't everyone? I celebrate things that might be religious to some but I celebrate them as secular holidays. Christmas to me is pretty lights and parties and Easter to me is egg hunts and baskets.

I am afraid I get stuck with Christmas alot the time----friends want small parties, gift exchanges, main topic of conversation. Being Jewish, this can get old very quickly.
