Holidays Are Holidays Celebrated By All



Less to have and glad of it.
Seems more appreciated,
Than those unhappy.
Heard to hear whining to complain,
About the changing of seasons.
And unable to find anything to wear,
Appropriate enough...
To impress those they have not yet met.
Or know who else,
Has been invited to accept...
Invitations they received.
To express their thankfulness.
And good tidings to all who may attend,
Thanksgiving Day, Christmas, Kwanzaa...
Or Hanukkah.
And...
Whether or not those of the Muslim faith,
Celebrate any of these holidays.

'Of course they do and why not?
Food is food and gifts to exchange,
Is not specifically a celebration...
Of religious beliefs.
Unless those who attend begin to argue.
Over being vegetarians.
With a preference for organically grown,
Vegetables.
To only use kosher salt as a substitute,
That they've discovered...
For them enhances the taste that makes,
The flavor of the food much more delicious!
With a doing that must be tried!

And...
About the exchanging of Christmas gifts?
Children could care less who gives them.
As long as they get two or more.
Wrapped!
At any cost or who spent what,
To deliver exactly what they asked for.

Holidays are holidays.
Celebrated by all!
