What? No happy Advent Sunday?

Seriously, this is all part of an attempt to isolate Thanksgiving as some kind of Christian holiday like Christmas or Easter. At Christmas, out of our desire to feel inclusive we feel obligated to recognize the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah.

Leftists for some reason believe Thanksgiving is an inherently Christian holiday, so recognition of other religions is required to atone for the embarrassingly large number of Christians in America.

Conveniently, the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha falls close to Thanksgiving this year, so leftists can atone for the original American sin of Thanksgiving.

Actually it is...at least here in the U.S.

You are exactly correct.
And, who the heck ever heard of Eid al-Adha for G-D’s sake before Obama!!
This ad by Best Buy is absurd.
