I am not a religious person and therefore I can celebrate almost any holiday with joy and satisfaction!

Carolyn McBride said...- I'm a person who has faith. I have faith that there is a higher
power, where they reside/exist though is anyone's guess. For all of my
science fiction leanings, I do believe there is a universal force. I
don't necessarily call it God/Goddess, but I have faith that something
is out there. My faith is not easily named and cannot be categorized on a
form. The last time I was in hospital, they asked my faith and I think I
told them I was Pagan. I suppose that's as close a classification as I
can get.
I celebrate the love of this season by getting together with family. We are not a family who puts much stock in 'stuff' but we're smart enough to know that one more day/week/month/year with each other is a gift.

- Not a religious person. I celebrate where ever I can. At dawn. At dusk. In wonder at so many things...

Arkansas Patti said...
- Sliver Willow beat me to it. My thoughts exactly. When I was a
child I told my parents I wanted to be Jewish. It seemed to me they had
more holidays.

Munir said...
- I am somewhat religious and I celebrate Ramadaan, when we fast
for a whole month (from Sunrise to Sunset) and with the money we save we
try to help the hungry and the needy no matter where they come from.
Also since I am in America I do give out gifts to my Christian friends
and coworkers and wish my Jewish Friends and coworkers Happy Hanukkah.
My Hindu friends get a Happy Diwali wish from me.
Birdie said...- I'm a Christian and attend a Quaker church occasionally. I don't
celebrate any religionous holidays but celebrate Christmas because it
means time with family and loved ones.
Brig said...- I celebrate the holidays of my Christian faith. I try to
regularly attend mass, but when that is not an option, I have no trouble
with taking it to the Father in prayer, irregardless of where I am.
Olga Hebert said...- I celebrate Christmas as a touch of warmth in a cold and dark season. I did have latkes for my Christmas dinner though.

The Happy Whisk said...- I celebrate all kinds of stuff. Too long to list here. Great fun though.

- I'm not religious, but I enjoy any holidays that are on the
calendar, although I don't 'celebrate' with whatever foods and rituals
are common to any particular holiday.
Snaggle Tooth said...- I am answerîng on my new tablet. Ofcourse I am devoted to my
creator but belong to my own faith whether in à church or not. I do not
agree with organized religion but in a personal one. I pray a lot.
Christmas yep sabbath. yep grace yep. Accountable. Mindful of trying not
to hurt anyone. I believe we will answer for our wrongs.
Wow this teeny keyboard is tough to do!

- I don't actually "celebrate" any of the holidays. I may on
occasion fix myself a special dinner on Christmas or Thanksgiving but
that's pretty much it. I am both aware and respectful of most holidays,
particularly Christian and Jewish. As far as the religious aspect, I
keep that quite personal.
P.S... The 'deleted comment' was mine. Me & Blogger had a disagreement!! :)

Kerry said...- I am not religious, but I would say I am spiritual. There's a
difference. I love Christmas, but it is a secular holiday for me,
centered on friends, family, and food.
