Stephen writes: Happy Chris-Nukk-Eid!
No, this is not a new holiday that sees a combination of Christmas, Hanukkah, and Eid-ul-Adha (presents, chocolate coins, and pilgrimage) but a way to celebrate our differences. During this important time of the year, people of all faiths, and indeed those of no religious belief, spend time with their families celebrating their traditions. However, when we all come together in schools or in the workplace, we can find it difficult to commemorate the holidays in a shared way. At the Three Faiths Forum our answer is Chris-nukk-eid! Unfortunately you will not be getting extra holiday time, but during Chris-nukk-eid we are rejoicing in our three holidays together - a lead up to celebrating them apart. > more
