I had to laugh at the "backing away in horror", that is so humanlike.

Thanks for this. Very enlightening and from now on I'll never put a foot wrong. By the way, I just learned to say "iyi bayranlar" as a few days ago it was the end of Ramadan in Turkey. The conclusion of your post is SO RIGHT: the effort to got it right and be aware of and accept that there are more religions than one is appreciated, as I saw from the smiling faces when I said the correct greeting in Turkish.

Two of my Jewish friends do the whole Christmas thing in addition to Hanukkah, including trees, although minus the carols...It's easier on the kids, they say...

Good morning Mal. Thank you so very much! I feel like I know what to do now! This was very kind of you to help me out too! Just a note: I never did the Claus thing with my kids. To me it is the first lie kids learn. Just my humble opinion. You are so good to me! sammy
I am putting a copy on my computer of this entry if that is okay with you.
