Hanukkah and Kwanzaa

Published by admin at 6:29 pm under Charities, Life, christmas, holidays

One of the great things about America is Freedom of Religion.  My son got in the car from school this afternoon telling me it was the beginning of Hanukkah and also Kwanzaa.  I was so amazed that we can mention religion at school.  In this day and time there are so many things you have to be afraid of because of Political Correctness.  We here in American take it so for granted.  In 1992-1996, I lived in Indonesia.  There is one official religion there and mosques are everywhere.  They did allow other religions, but they were not allowed to grow and prosper.  In Indonesia, if it said Muslim on your Birth Certificate it stayed that way until you died, even if you were attending a different Church .

Today, I would like to remind you, no matter what your faith, that it is a season of gratitude and of gifts to those we find special in our lives.  Please reach out and give back this year.  Even if it is only a dollar, it is a dollar more. Another way you can help is to donate scrap book materials to Itchin To Scrap and help Nicole Pereira with her collection of materials to supply ScrapBooks to 400 people in San Diego, Ca.  You can read more about her Holiday passion on Nicole’s website
