I agree. I've been to Singapore (1998) and was shocked at how beautifully the main areas were decorated for the Christmas Holidays. I even remember there was one large dept store that even had bible verses of the Christmas story displayed on the building and inside. I was told that the owner had become a Christen. Singapore was very beautiful and everyone was very nice. Even in Hong Kong in the malls every one was decorated for Christmas.

There is nothing wrong in celebrating the different holidays but that does not mean that anyone should exclude Christmas.

It has become a tradition in both Singapore and Hong Kong to go all out with their Christmas decorations.

It's interesting that in Singapore they sometimes invite members of the Christian faith (after all they're the experts) to explain their holiday to the public. That way, everyone can respect and learn from each other.

It stills baffles me that in the U.S. you can't even say "Merry Christmas" in some instances without getting censured. Whatever happened to freedom of religion? I thought the U.S. invented it.
