I dont practice any religion, half of my family is Muslim however.
I personally consider christmas about as religious a day as thanksgiving or the 4th of july and celebrate it much in the same fashion it's a time for my kids to see family they don't often and a chance for them to have some fun that's it.
I've spent christmas in the company of Muslim family as well and they get it and aren't opposed to their children receiving/giving gifts or enjoying the food etc they understand what WE are celebrating and that's each other.
I didn't know many people still celebrated it as a religious holiday these days.

The Hornets are off to a horrendous 6-18 start, and it’s all Lance Stephenson’s fault.
Or something like that.
Their issue run deeper than the non-star Stephenson, but he’s an easy scapegoat. So, everyone is throwing mud (some of it right at Stephenson) to see what sticks.
The Hornets reportedly want to trade him. Other teams reportedly want to trade for him.
One of those teams: the Pacers, who employed Stephenson for his first four seasons.
Candace Buckner of The Indianapolis Star:
Indiana Pacers owner Herb Simon said he would personally be fine with bringing back Lance Stephenson in a trade, however the judgment would be up to the front office.
“I’d be OK with it but it’s not up to me. Larry (Bird) has to decide if he fits,” Simon told The Star
Several deciding factors would determine the Pacers’ interest in Stephenson, said Simon, and a huge consideration would be chemistry.
“First of all, we don’t know if they’re really trading him, at least I don’t know,” Simon said about the Hornets. “I know they made some calls and we would have to (figure out) how he fits back into the team. Those are all basketball decisions and Larry and Kevin (Pritchard) are the best to answer that.
Announcement: ProBasketballTalk’s partner FanDuel is hosting a one-day $175,000 Fantasy Basketball league for Tuesday’s NBA games. It’s $25 to join and first prize is $15,000. Starts at 7:00pm ET on Tuesday. Here’s the FanDuel link.
Yesterday was the first day the Hornets could have traded Stephenson, and it already seems he’s worn out his welcome. in Charlotte It wouldn’t be a surprise if the Pacers – from Larry Bird to Frank Vogel to Roy Hibbert – look at the mess there and determine they’ve had enough of Stephenson. There was certainly some foreshadowing when they made measured attempts to keep him in free agency this summer.
But Indiana, specifically Bird, provided Stephenson a safety net he doesn’t have with the Hornets. Stephenson returning to the Pacers could work out, and it’s interesting Simon is allowing for the possibility.
After the Malice at The Palace, the Pacers deconstructed a very good team. This is an owner conscious of how his team presents itself to the public, and he’s indicating there’s at least a chance Stephenson can fit within his desired image.
I don’t think people understand how crucial ownership is to a team’s decision-making, though the situation in Sacramento is sure opening eyes to the other side of it. A Stephenson-back-to-Indiana deal doesn’t get off the ground without Simon’s approval.
But if he’s open to it…
left to get paid, sabatoge charlotte a bit & return to bird & continue the larry v mj beef

No sense of imminent deals, but tremendous volume of trade discussions among teams for only the mid-december benchmark

Sure, because he would at least steal someone else's breaking news (probably Woj or something) before tweeting it out as his own news.
So sure, Chris Broussard>Kenny Anderson
Hell, Kenny Powers>Kenny Anderson
