I'm willing to drop this (except for the fact I am having a lot of fun with it :)), but there are a few things I'd like to point out first.

1.) I answered your question about right and wrong, and so did Kevin.
2.) It's not a matter of who I give thanks to on Thanksgiving so much as what I give thanks for.
3.) I celebrate Christmas because my family is Christian and I greatly enjoy spending time with them. Also, as I'm pretty sure I mentioned, I do believe in many of the teachings of Christ. If there was a Kurt Vonnegut day, I'd celebrate that too.
4.) Do Jews who work for a company that closes on Christmas Day insist on going to work that day? I think not. No matter your religion, a day off is a day off.

That is absolutely ridiculous. There are still earthly laws to be obeyed. If what you said was at all true, I would be out robbing banks right now. However, I have a fear of being sent to jail and happen to think it unfair to take other people's money.

Thanks, the same to you. And I won't.
