I'm an atheist. I wish my Christian friends 'Merry Christmas.
Your (apparently VERY) poor education is showing, Norbert.....the greeting "Merry Christmas" comes from the (relatively recently-written) Christmas Carol "We Wish You A Merry Christmas", popularized by Charles Dickens on his late 1800's book tour of your (at that time VERY) young country....BEFORE Dickens, it was routine practice in what is now the USA to wish folks "Happy Holidays" at this time of year because one could often not tell "just by looking" whether they were Jewish, or Reformed Jewish, or Baptist, or Protestant, or Jehovah's Witnesses, or whatever, and in THOSE days, Americans still knew their Constitution, and understood this to be a SECULAR nation.... I do enjoy all the kerfuffle over people saying "Happy Holidays" again, though! Happy Holidays!
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
