Hi there-
Living in the western world we are inundated with the holiday season and festivities at this time of year. Christmas has become more of a social and commercial festivity as opposed to the traditional Christian religious event it started out as. So with that I'm curious to see how many Sikhs out there actually buy a Christmas tree, exchange presents or buy presents for their kids, and play along with the Santa Claus myth?
I personally think it is OK to do so as it part of this western culture we are bringing up our kids in. Keeping true to our religion and customs does not contradict this as long as we continue to teach and learn the words of the Guru's.
Any thoughts?
