A Note: If we are sharing how we celebrate our holiday season, and we choose to celebrate it religiously, why would it offend our partner?

I love this group, I love sharing my faith with everyone and do not choose to shove it down someones throat, but I do not like being stifled from expressing my faith in a season that was specifically created for our Faith. Christmas is just that ... a celebration for the birth of our Savior. CHRISTmas...

The world has chose to give gifts and make this holiday include a whole season of wonders...

I would love to have an ATC from a Jewish partner showing their celebration of Hanukkah, or a Muslim of their Ramadan celebration and I can't leave out the beauty of Kwanzaa....

I won't be joining this swap, because I do not want to offend, but I did want to leave a comment.

In this world filled with violence and wars... can't we just stop looking at out religious differences and allow each to have an ability to share and celebrate our differences?

Merry Christmas, to fellow believers, Happy Holidays to those who choose to celebrate anything other than Christmas... but still love to hear a happy wish .....

I have to say I agree with @Songcrafter1 even though I'm not particularly religious at this time in my life. Like she said, the statement "However you choose to celebrate the upcoming holiday season" is at odds with "Let's not have any obvious religious themes." It feels a bit like saying "make an ATC for 4th of July but don't use patriotic themes because some people might not like them." What would be the point? Perhaps a better approach is "since this is a religious holiday for many people, if you would be offended by a religious theme then do not join."
