Originally posted by wolfgang59Actually, Christians here in Indonesia do not wish each other Merry Christmas ["Selamat Natal!"] until after they have been to Christmas mass, a 'protocol' that also applies to the enormous numbers of text messages they send out to people of all religions. Many Muslims here send out "Selamat Natal!" messages too, but to their Christian friends and colleagues, I think, and not to each other.
Yeh.
Some idiot wished me a Happy Christmas last Saturday and it was only the 24th!

Many thanks for the kind response ! I started a bit early so as to leave sufficient time for me and the posters to respond to each other. As I have stated above, the Hindu new year starts on 23 March 2012. This is the 1st day of the lunar month of Chaitra, heralding Spring season all over India.
that the Jewish religious year should begin with their Passover and
Feast of Unleaven Bread coming in the middle of that first month.

It just annoys me. Y'know, not being 2012 yet. I'm in Australia and other than New Zealand and a couple of Pacific Islands we're pretty much ahead of the rest of the world when it comes to time.
That's my nice word for twisted crazy person btw.

Sure thing, my Hindu friend (if I can call you that)
It's no big deal, I just thought if some big rock came and hit Singapore then they wouldn't be having a happy 2012.
I take everyday as if it were my last.
But now I have less than 5 hours to go, so I think I will make it 🙂
All the best. Thank you for your kind words, not just to me, but to everyone. You embody hinduism and religion very well in general and you have become one of my favourite posters.
(and I have noticed that you too have become a bit dismayed at the spirituality forum here at times,(correct me if I am wrong), but I feel you seek to unite and not divide through love, which is stronger than fear)
God bless!! (it's a saying that I say to christians mainly, but I'm sure you can get into the spirit of it, no?)
