This article might seem rather lighthearted to a few, but for me it really seemed like a deep matter. It showed me that to be a multicultural society, or a pluralistic one, it isn’t necessary to turn to secularized views to help integrate everyone into one community and make them belong. This collusion of the two cultural festivals was a true visualization of just that. N belief had to assimilate into the other, or even compromise on their values and practices to assimilate with a 'status quo'. Both the Christian and Jewish communities were welcome to work together and be in harmony when celebrating what is dear to both of them. This also reminded me of my childhood in Canada. I remember a time when Eid, Hanukkah, and Christmas all fell around the same time of year. It was common tradition in public schools to hold assemblies where people would engage in carol singing, really getting in the Christmas festivities feel. But that time of year was different, the school and students would put on plays expressing who, what, how and why each culture or faith celebrates Eid, Christmas, and Hanukkah. Schools became the source of not only common literacy, but religious literacy. People of different faiths expressed their beliefs, educating society and making people feel welcome, rather than feeling forced onto someone. This also made me realize that maybe the ban in Quebec really isn’t the best solution for ‘moving forward’. It might be better to find ways to incorporate religious literacy into schools, whether it be through plays, assemblies, presentations, or even just allowing people to express their beliefs; that way we can all get along with one another without having to feel the need to hide our beliefs in order to belong.http://www.therecord.com/living-story/4195586-thanksgivukkah-a-meeting-of-two-holidays/
