I’m sorry, but it DOES have to be accepted IMO.

Take the story(ies) from last year where in DT Toronto they had to take down a Christmas Tree in the lobby of a building because non-christians were offended.  
WTF?

If you don’t like it get the fuck out and go back to your own damn country.

If you want to put up a golden cow, or 8 candles then go ahead, nobody is stopping you. Is it not enough that we acknowledge all of the other religion’s holiays by giving people time off, and they also get time off for OUR holidays…they don’t seem to mind then, now do they.

Next year I’… be celebrating Kwanza, Hanukah, Christmas, and Easter on 2 seperate occasions.
