LONDON (Reuters) - Hindus, Sikhs and Muslims joined Britain's equality watchdog Monday in urging Britons to enjoy Christmas without worrying about offending non-Christians.

"It's time to stop being daft about Christmas. It's fine to celebrate and it's fine for Christ to be star of the show," said Trevor Phillips, chairman of the Equality and Human Rights Commission.

"Let's stop being silly about a Christian Christmas," he said, referring to a tendency to play down the traditional celebrations of the birth of Christ for fear of offending minorities in multicultural Britain.

I was so pleased to read this. Devotion to God and freedom to express it in a joyful and authentic way is essential for all of humanity and all faiths. When Christians, along with their brothers and sisters in all faiths, are able to rejoice in their worship "everyone's boat floats."

My appreciation for such supportive words and may God bless all of you in turn.
