hurray for hunukkah :smug:

 

didn't stop me from going to a christmas party though :P :D

So when does Hanukkah start and end anyway?

I THINK IT STARTS ON DEC, 19TH AND FINISHES N DEC, 27TH [THIS YEAR]

*nods* yeah, Carla got it right. The dates change every year there cos it depands on a different calendar.

:wink3: :lol: :lol: WHAT COMES AFTER THIS????

Hah! you all spell it wrong muahahahaha. I actually just found out how its spelled. WHy do they spell the holidays so weird? its Chanukah. strange eh? :D

YOU CAN SPELL IT HANUKKAH OR CHANUKAH :wink3: :lol: :lol:

no its not

its a world holiday

even if your not christian ppl buy each other presents

even though they dont know the true meaning of xmas they still celebrate it

 

CHRISTmas

 

a christian holiday, even though there are some non-christian that exchange presents it is a christian holiday and not everyone in the world celebrates it.

WELL SAID! :lol: :D

I dont celebrate chritmas as I got brought up as a Rasta farin however I do respect other peoples customs. And I like to see people have a lovley time, I see some people get this benifit however others don't. But nuff respect to sternly for not forgtten us. ANd happy new year anyway.

I REALLY DIDN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU MEANT, BUT WHAT DO RASTA FARI DO?

. It is a christain faith, and not a faith of vows or laws Its means a function of ones heart. They belive in repatartion to ethiopia, I live its ethics but don;t really acticley attend meetings these days.

WASN'T BOB MARLEY A RASTA FARI? OR AM I WRONG AGAIN?

No you're not wrong. Youre quite right !!!

Its has very good ethics and practices, however there are a few people in the church I used to go to that have lost their way.

SO IT'S LIKE A RELIGION? BECAUSE I'VE NEVER SEEN RASTA FARIS IN THE CATHOLIC CHURCH AND SO.... IS IT LIKE A PARTICULAR SECT OR LIKE A BRANCH OF...?

thanks Sternly! for making this thread for us! :-)

AH, NO PROBS! IT WAS FOR ME TOO! BESIDES I'VE LEARN QUITE FEW NEW THINGS HERE! :D

:cool:

WHAT DO YOU CELEBRATE INSTEAD OF XMAS?

i don't celebrate anything in place of christmas. :-)
