Nothing is stopping you from observing those days on your own.

Jesus was Hebrew, that rabble rouser. That scamp actually celebrated and worshiped at the Temple.
How small to deny the faith of his fathers in the town square, regardless if there are two Jews in the community or millions.

Jesus was never about exclusion.

The war on christmas seems to be dying down, maybe some need a new "war" to fight for their religious beliefs.

Any and all religions get to do their thing, not just "Christians".

As long as they are not breaking any laws, then ANYONE is allowed to practice whatever religion they choose, including none.
