There's been a lot of talk recently approximately the desire to build Christ back in Christmas. As a Muslim, I fully support the idea that religious observances should focus on their intended purpose. Many times cultural traditions end up fitting more considerable than teachings of the faith, or especially if the majority is of a similar faith. Unfortunately,cultural traditions can become so entwined with religious observances that it becomes difficult to separate them and focus on what the faith teaches.
Not to say that cultural traditions are a gross thing, but they should be acknowledged for what they are....
