  • Plenty of Secular stamps but no manger scene.  Always pictures of Madonna and Child  from art museums.  

    They have plenty of stamps with image of  candles for Jєωιѕн low holiday.


    We are where we are because all Christians are lukewarm....




    May God bless you and keep you

  • Of course. Notice how when it comes to something like opposition to ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖity the media hammers Christianity but you wont hear anything about the Muslims.

  • What's ridiculous is placing all these holidays on the same footing as Christmas.

    Even if I were African, with fully pagan African culture (which the American Blacks buying Kwanzaa stamps are NOT), I don't think Kwanzaa would have the same place in my life that Christmas has to a Christian.

    Is the festival of lights, Hanukkah, even that big a deal to Jєωs, as Christmas is to Christians?

    And Diwali for the Hindus. Are they all really comparable? Something tells me they scraped the bottom of the barrel of these other faiths, so they aren't left out during Christmastime -- to be ecuмenical. But if I were them, I'd feel a bit patronized and even silly.

    Imagine putting some great holiday of another religion on the same footing as, say, St. Felix of Valois on Nov. 20th. With all due respect to St. Felix, I'd feel kind of silly placing a holiday that's really not that important in my religion, on the same footing as a holiday of eminent importance in another religion. Even if I believed that other religion to be in error. I'd still feel funny buying stamps for some obscure saint, because that's the closest saint to the Birthday of Mohammad or something.

    Just being objective here.

  • What is a "Jєωιѕн low holiday"?
    A minor holiday.  High holidays would be Pesach, Rosh Hoshana, Yom Kippur, Succot 
    Low holidays Hanukah, Purim, Shavuot.  

    Catholics have high and low Masses.  It’s somewhat similar to how Jєωιѕн holidays are classified.

    Tons of “Catholics” in area but no signs of Catholicism.

  • Like I said, it's kind of silly.

    It would be like being in a country where they celebrate their independence on August 1 or something, and so to be "politically correct" they say, "Oh, you're an American. August 1 is the day George Washington bought a new house", "George Washington ate steak", or something similarly banal. And while the whole country is earnestly celebrating their country's birth or some such, you're buying stamps with "George Washington ate steak on this day." instead. Silly.

    Either celebrate the big, dominant feast, or be an outsider with a dark house not celebrating that day. Kids can avoid you as the strange foreigner/infidel. That's fine. But at least I'd have some respect for you. Pretending you have just as big a holiday to celebrate AT EXACTLY THE SAME TIME -- what do you know! -- is just silly.

  • Just as well, Christmas cards are getting too expensive to send anyway.  I sent one to a friend who had recently moved (an ostensibly Christianized Jєω, for what that's worth) last year, and that was it.  At that rate, I have enough unused Christmas cards to last a lifetime and beyond.

    Might be a plan to sign them and take them down to the nursing home for the patients.

    Because Hanukkah falls early this year.  The Jєωs use the Lunar calendar.  Hanukkah and Christmas do not always coincide, likewise, Easter and Passover.  
    The giant menorahs are compliments of the Chabad Lubavich people, the ones from Crown Heights whose Rebbe is two decades in his grave, but who many think is the Moshiach and will rise from the dead to take his rightful place.  As time goes on, there are some splinter groups who say this is a mistake, that a new Rebbe must be chosen.  
    What public decorations should Catholics be putting on display right now?
