Peace Tree Day 
It's Holiday Season again.(I didn't put an exclamation mark on that because its not overly exciting for me, although I would encourage you to imagine one if that if it something that makes you excited. I'm not being sarcastic. As a person who to loves to write, and loves the English language, I have used punctuation very differently and specifically to state exact points. If you too, like punctuation, read this book, which is also humourous: Eats, Shoots & Leaves by Lynne Truss) So yes, its the holiday season! There you go- an exclamation mark for you since I'm in a good mood. The main holiday celebrated in this country is Christmas, as we all know. And this can be a great time of year for Christians. but even for Christians there a can be a lot of stress with buying presents, wrapping presents, crowded stores, cleaning for guests, having guests, being around family members who are not your favorite people, or not having anyone close to be around. But then after you calm down from all of that, if you have a chance to relax at the end of it all and remember why you celebrate this holiday it might make you feel good. That may be beautiful and very important to you as a Christian. And also, I am sure that there are many Christians that didn't forget the holiday season is not based solely around your holiday. That would be selfish and non-inclusive to think that. We live in a multicultural country, and a country in which some people are not Christians despite their culture, because of questioning themselves and religion/s in general. and I am happy for that diversity. If you let it, you can learn a lot from it, and it can enhance you as a person. Yes, some people will remember Hanukkah. But they may not know that Hanukkah is not as important to Jews as Christmas is to Christians. That is usually the most diversity I usually see, if even that. Did you know that there are other holidays that are celebrated this time of year. Here are some of them: Kwanzaa, Winter Solstice, Las Posadas, Diwali, and Chinese New Year. I, myself have Wiccan and Agnostic leanings and celebrate the Winter Solstice with my fairly new immediate family. We attend a Unitarian Universalist Church which studies and accepts various religions and lack there of. 
When you are not a Christian it is slightly annoying, to downright offensive, to see only Christmas represented in all of the places you go. I am wished a Merry Christmas all over the place, even though less so than when I was a child, in which I hardly heard "Happy Holidays". The stores are where I hear it the most often. If only Merry Christmases were money, I would have enough to donate to a charity instead of buying a present for someone who already "has everything". I sometimes respond to the person, with the same greeting because I am caught unaware, although it is mumbled, and I am tired and exhausted when they say this. I staunchly don't mean it back in a religious sense, not because I don't wish them a Merry Christmas, because if that is what they celebrate I do wish them a Merry Christmas. But sorry to say, I really do wish them a Merrier Christmas when they thought enough to include others and not think the whole world revolves around their religion. 
So I decided to do a little quiet activism. I took a pic of the Xmas setting in a bathroom I encountered, which I thought was not inclusive. Then I wrote a note about the setting. I came back to the bathroom after the appointment I was in the building for and my note was gone, so I wrote another. 
Then on an unrelated note, the person I had the appointment with, told me there was a weird picture on the door of a character about to go to the bathroom, so I had to get a shot of that too.
