Christmas trees in houses of Sikhs

The fact is that if we are here in the west, then this time of the year is 'holiday' because of the festive season. If we are so anti-christmas, then we have no right to be off work and enjoying time with family do we ??

In a country where our mother tongue is not so, we shouldn't mock their cultures or way of living. If it really annoys us and messes with our faithand spirituality, then we should shut up and go back to Punjab!!!

When a person has been enslaved by a different culture for a very long time..............they write exactly what is written in bold. Singh, if your Amritdhari, it is very sad to see you have lost the root of Satguru's teaching, every human is equal and has the right to practice their beliefs as long as they don't infringe on another's right.

Honestly, I say you go to the basic of Sikhi and remember freedom is a universal right. Not just accept in religion, but as a secular right. All the Santa cookies has done some damage, wouldn't you say?

Despite of not having christmas tree or celebrating christmas, I will make sure I will be wishing merry christmas to westerners on 25th. i figured this is least i can do behalf of sikh community and behalf of some of those genuine opressed refugge of 1984-1997 who came here for better life and in over time somehow seem to be turned into bunch of ungrateful self righteous elitist double dippers walking around with sense of entitlement- yes hinting towards part of punjabi community..yes indeed we do come across as ungrateful bunch.

Speaking generally, as my observation during the past 5 years or so -some of our people have no shame, they will hesitate to take part (simple merry christmas greeting to those celebrate it) in national holiday of Canada yet no problems double dipping - take advantage of day off on dec 25th or claim double/triple over time.

Generally, sikhs are generally are well integrated(to western society) community compare to muslims but we do have some anti-social elements who are soo staunchly against- even if at slightest integration in western soceity holidays that if indeed they were not born here, they truly need to go back to their home countries instead of whining about traditions in the host country traditions and double dipping at social/welfare/statutory holidays at the same time...no wonder gorreh's here feel robbed by visible minorities here, i would do when we have ungrateful at the same time- hypocritical bunch who have no problems cussing the national holiday and the same time double dipping at the day off from work/claim double/triple over time.!!!!!

NEO BRO before you give it that we all came over here stuff and be gratefull, well lets put it in a light way before one gets offended.. let me tell you my grandad and his family was invited to the uk and my naankeh to do the <banned word filter activated> jobs the goreh would not do...so its not a matter of WE came here and WE have to adjust to their principles/customs/traditions etc....WE came here for financial (call it greed if you want) means not at the compromise of our culture/religion....WE WERE INVITED......im taliknf from uk prospective..... xmas is fine as far as im concerned...alot of goreh in genreal get on with sikhs but not pakis... very evident.....it seems to be a pattern that even goreh know the difference between pakis and us indians.......

any way going back to xmas/xmas teeee..no problem.. as long at the intentions is sikhi.. in terms of do it for funm/presents/jesus if you may.. dont to id to tell the gorah your one of them or to tell next people we aint muslim (taliban- uk ppl get he pic).............

NEO SINGH this is all karm.... goreh invaded us now we ae coming into their country..........i have no time to go into this as its really irrelevant.....

singh... the queen of england still gets a profit from the sale of indian tea(and others)... so who should be greatfull..... world war 2 in particular sikhs made things happen,, sorry for my unproper english.....

no doubt the system is good especially in england with welfare..etc.... how many goreh on large scale(not ur immediate friend) say happy vaisakhi/guru nanak jaam etc....

without sikhs consider world war nazis...again we were invited neo singh from the same people ivaded our land.. and singh.. my family were from west panjab (pakistan) they had to see real <banned word filter activated> on thieir travels.. so dont hink cos your sitting on a good cushions its all goodd... bhagat is that that can put himself in others shoes not look from his high horse......

I don't know what makes you think if i'm amritdhari or not, but I don't own the culture here and I don't force my culture on to others.

You are saying that if an amritdhari gives his kids christmas presents then he has disowned his own faith.

A gurmukh should be humble and accepting of other cultures.

Accepting doesn't mean that you let the white man make you one of them.

Why should I disrespect and deny their culture if they give me a holiday and exra pay for this holiday ??

I don't have a problem or any fear of being white washed.

The people that have fears are ones that have some inner insecurities and fears about their very own faith and status.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
