Exactly, I agree with you 100%. If you recognize on particular holiday during the holiday season, you need to recognize them all - including Christmas.

According to the Wikipedia:
‘Eid al-Adha “Festival of Sacrifice” or “Greater Eid” is a holiday celebrated by Muslims (including the Druze) worldwide to commemorate the willingness of Ibrahim to sacrifice his son Ismael as an act of obedience to God.

Eid al-Adha is the latter of two Eid festivals celebrated by Muslims, whose basis comes from the Quran. Like Eid al-Fitr, Eid al-Adha’

Good info DataDink. As distasteful as it seems, Abraham and Isaac are important to me too in my religion. So, Sandy, I agree with you, as long as they keep Christmas Christian and recognize it as the major holiday that it is, I’ll not hold it against Best Buy.
