The separation of church and real estate.

Richard, right on target with this post.  Unfortunately there are too many people that are more than willing to subjugate others to their own beliefs.  Too many closed or narrow minded people that have little or no tolerance for points of view different from their own.

The county I live and work in, Fort Bend County, TX, was just named the most diverse county in the nation.  This fact has definitely not stopped the shopping frenzy!  During the year it's common to pass by a business and see a Happy Diwali or happy Ed el Fitr (sp) sign during the year.  We all have our holidays and traditions.   Mine is Christmas.  However, I'm pretty happy to live in an environment where my grandkids can learn of other's celebrations and traditions.

Merry Christmas!

Religion has but one purpose and that is to lead you to "something" greater. It is a tool (like trillions of other tools) designed for journeying until you can finally travel via Spirit & Truth. Instead, it has become more famous than THAT something...This was never meant to be. There is no religion in the beyond world. Just Truth which is the glue of the Universe that binds us all...thank you for a most decent posting

Richard, my brother and I joke because we're not religious, but have a couple family members who are. So instead of Christmas Eve, we say Jesus' birthday Eve. It's all in good fun :)

Guess I am Tired of being Politically Correct. I am just going to say Merry Christmas!

Richard, It is Merry Christmas for us but when I send out cards to clients it is "Happy Holidays" that covers all religions and beliefs I think.

Richard, I don't know why every year people have to argue over the separation of Religion and the rest of life. Christmas is Christmas. Ignore it if you do't like it.

That's so true - it says on the calendar it's Christmas, so that's that!  I say to people at times, Happy Sunday, Happy Friday, Happy 4th of July and Merry Christmas.   It's all good.

Mostly off limits...except a few years back when the owner of a church turned it into a bunch of CONDOs. As you'd expect, they could care less which religion you might practice, all they wanted was the almighty greenback. 

And Happy-whatever-you-want-to-call-any-day to you all. And to all a goodnight!

I agree.  Don't know how or when things had to become so PC.

Richard!

I hope you have a great holiday season!

I found some cards I like, and sent them out... I know know every one of them seperates Church and Real Estate... so much of how I run my Biz..is me at heart. I won't change how I celebrate, to make a sale.

Gotta love the really creative title line, Richard!  I'm in agreement with you about Christmas being both religious and secular!  I worked several years at an International softwared development company with folks all over the globe.  When I read their Facebook pages today, my Hindu friend of East Indian descent, who was born and raised in Australia, just put up her Christmas tree!  Ditto for another, who is Sikh.

We have all but erased history from our lives, just shows over time fools will believe anything they hear. The bible is the oldest book in the world and there has to be truth in the history of it somewhat. But hey most kids nowadays don't know that Washington crossed the Delaware let alone why and I heard a middle schooler ask last 9-11 why were they reading the names of the people that died on 9-11 when I tried to explain he said that all that happened was not real and that his history teacher said it was a hoax. Go Figure. 

Between Holywood and Schools most will believe anything. JMHO

Oh BTW I am a Christian and although I don;t push it, I damn sure ain't going to hide it and if the folks don't like it then I really don't need the money that bad. BTW I do ask that we pray at every closing but that is me. I have never lost a deal or had anyone object including 27 closings over 17 years with folks from India 3 which are investors of mine and own a national hotel chain can you guess which one?

It goes both ways, there are those that are not Christian and respect goes both ways. 

Hi Richard, I think you said this so well. It is clear and not filled any angst at all. I wish everyone could accept this holiday for why it exists but a smile and a Merry Christmas is and should be accepted everywhere by anyone.

GOOD MORNING RICHARD ... enough said!
