I don't think rdenig answered your question very well. Your question didn't say anything about different holidays or faiths.......so I don't understand why he started with "No, Christmas is a Christian festival"....
Sure! I would love to see bi-cultural greeting cards! I'm a half breed myself, so I think it would be cool. I think you're on the right track - actually trying to start something instead of just sitting around complaining. Way to be Pro-Active!
:D
If the whole company doesn't pan out, I'm sure you could still make your personal cards on the computer.

No - Christmas is a Christian festival. Read what the head of Britain's Equal Opportunities Commission has said reported just this morning, and the responses of someother faith leaders:-

'Speaking about Muslim, Hindu and Jewish festivals, he will go on to say: "The logic is baffling: to welcome Eid and Diwali and Hanukkah in celebration of our glorious diversity, whilst brushing Christmas under the carpet as an embarrassing episode in our mono-cultural past."

Anil Bhanot, the Hindu Council UK's general secretary who has joined forces with Mr Phillips, said: "Hindus celebrate Christmas too. It's a great holiday for everyone living in Britain. We would like Christians to continue to carry Jesus' message of love. Barring the faiths of others does not fit in with the Hindu religion."

While Dr Indarjit Singh, director of the Network of Sikh Organisations UK said: "Every year I am asked, 'do I object to the celebration of Christmas?' It's an absurd question.

"As ever, my family and I will send out our Christmas cards to our Christian friends and others. In the spirit of Christmas, we in the Singh family will, as usual, force ourselves to have extra turkey, Christmas pudding and mince pies, the lot - all in the cause of inter-faith harmony. No one can say Sikhs don't go the extra mile." '
