I'd say that was very smart. In 1970, I got Hep A and I was pregnant with my daughter. My ex husband was in the Marine Corp but we think I got it from a grill we use to go to eat in Torrance. Actually it was a Thrifty's drug store with a grill inside where you could eat.

I was completely yellow- rushed to Little Co. of Mary Hosp and it was awful. My entire family had to get shots back then and they hurt like heck. They went by your weight at that time. I was in isolation for several days. Not a good time at all...very sick.

U think only Christians spend best buckets of money on gifts, travel to be with friends and family, gorge on Christmas day, and take the Christmas day holiday? One is as celebratory as the other. Pretty sure a lot of none Christians enjoy these activities.

Yes, even if they aren't very religious people, they still have a Christian background of some sort if they take part in it. There just happens to be more Christians or people with Christian roots in this country than anything else.

I know somebody who's a traditional European polytheist, yet he celebrates Christmas nevertheless as the Winter Solstice holiday which is from where Christmas originated. He has a Solstice tree and everything else, minus the Christian references.

I'm a European of no religious background. Nobody's religious in my family. We always celebrated Christmas just for the fun of it.
