Christmas is probably my favourite holiday of the year - not for religious reasons, but because it promotes goodwill like no other holiday can or does. This is not to say that other holidays don't. It's just that in my opinion Christmas does it best.
One of my best friends - he's dead now, poor fellow was a Muslim. He used to invite me every year for Eid-ul-Fitr. That I enjoyed the meal as well as the invitation went without question. But there wasn't the same 'camaraderie' (for want of a better word) amongst the other guests that I feel at Christmas time. And I will readily admit that my background might make me a little biased, though I don't think that I am. And I should mention that I have always enjoyed the lights of Divali.
But Christmas has always been a special time for me and I just wanted to tell everybody that I honestly hope that everybody has a good and joyful Day regardless of one's own personal religious beliefs.
