I do, it is not going to make me a better or worse person, everyone has their own religion , I believe in mine but respect all other religions, by the way, our Rabbi who is a close friend,does say Merry Christmas to Christians as they wished him Happy Channuka.

--- Quote ---If there is a vow or a vow in the name of the works of stars, behold, there is a lukewarm. And it is forbidden to mention it in its name, between you and you, and you are not in need.
In the name of their festivals, which are like the names of the sons of men, there is no fear for them. And it is not called like those who remember the servants of the stars, with the tongue of reckoning. (The pillars of the earth are the stars of the Lord, and the glories are the most precious and the most holy).
