It's our favorite consumerist, political fight with family holiday of the year.
Nevertheless I hope you all have a good holiday. Here's to a new year of working class struggle.

I have no idea how you can celebrate a holiday while the people in the land that started it are getting bombed. Palestinian Christians, as well as Christians in Jordan decided not to celebrate it this year. I feel guilty going to sleep knowing that I will wake up with a roof over my head, but to each their own.
I spend time with my family and loved ones by putting aside the stress and cruelty of the world to refocus on those in my life who mean an incredible amount to me.
What would having a roof over my head do anything to change the Palestinian cause? You can’t continuously self-flagilate, you will only ruin your own mental health.
Losing sleep and stressing today will only harm myself, and accomplish nothing. I spend all year educating myself, organizing, and doing everything I can to support those who need it (which for the past 2 months has been Palestine in particular), but there comes a time where one needs to disconnect and focus on their loved ones for a day.
Imagine if during the ISIS occupation and war in Syria, Iraq, and across the Muslim world, someone said, “How can you celebrate Eid al-Fitr? There are Muslims starving and dying, don’t you feel guilty you have food and a home?”
That would be bizarre and extremely disrespectful. There is a time and a place for everything.
You just exposed your lack of knowledge about Eid al-Fitr. Good job. "Zakat ul Fitr (also known as Fitrana) is a charitable donation of food that must be given before Eid prayer, before the end of the month of Ramadan, for the love of Allah. Zakat ul-Fitr is compulsory upon every self-supporting adult Muslim who has food in excess of their needs, on behalf of themselves and their dependants."
Anyways... You have been sus for a while, so I'm not going to engage with you ever again.
Yes, I am not Muslim, so I don’t fully understand Muslim holidays. Is that’s your gotcha? Really? I tried to think up a holiday in relative importance to Christmas to simply make a point. I’m not lecturing you.
I understand comrade, merry Christmas, there are millions who will celebrate today and you should celebrate with your family and such.
Salad has nothing to with the genocide, he did all he could, maybe you should ask your Arab brothers to cancel next Ramadan and Hajj just to show solidarity towards Gaza or atleast the Saudis will come to some sense.
