Agreed with Googi. My list was too short, but remember I wrote it on the fly and didn't include everything.

I'll add Hanukkah to the list (menorah and maybe a dreidel gani), and I am not sure if Buddhists and Muslims have one day or week or other small time period of celebration. Ramadan is really too long to observe, and there'd really be no way to nonintrusively observe it, as the observation thereof involves not eating between sunrise and sunset...as I recall, though I may be wrong.

As for Kwanzaa, I guess we could stick up a candelabra or somesuch. I don't know much about the celebration thereof, but I could probably find some stuff on google.

It may sound arrogant and/or bizarre, but we could celebrate the birthdays of the managers or something if we needed a couple more celebrations in dry spots.


Atheism is not worthy of celebration because it is not so much a religion as a philosophy (will we have to have Nihilism Day?) or, hell, a single belief (Predestonation Week anyone?). And how would we celebrate it on graal, make a script to disconnect all the staff?

By the way, there is a LARGE difference between dropping gralats all over the place and similar secular activities on December 25 and having slaves. If you don't want to participate, we aren't forcing you to. You can always go kill people on Unholy Nation or Classic to get your graal fix. It's not like we're kidnapping you, transporting you across the ocean in a puddle of ordure, auctioning you to the highest bidder, beating you into submission, and ordering you to pick cotton under pain of death...IF you don't die in transit. Got a bit carried away there, but I needed to tell you what slavery was so maybe you wouldn't compare it to a perfectly innocent PNG of a Christmas tree, some light effects, and a few gralats here and there.
