Some are stationary, such as the old streetcar at the Milwaukee Public Museum and the Western Holiday Express at a Philadelphia railroad station. But most, any fare-paying passenger can ride, notably: Washington DC’s ten festive Metrobuses, Chicago’s two subway-L trains, and Boston’s MBTA Polar Express train. In the USA, there’s more to Christmastime than Christmas In our country, around this time of year, we celebrate a variety of holidays, in a wide variety of ways. Soon after Halloween, stores begin displaying holiday merchandise. Turn page for the whole story. Photos credit: Chicago Transit Authority. Chicago Transit Authority has two wonderful holiday subway-L trains. Each has thousands of brilliant lights, many red bows, evergreen garlands and holiday scenes. Hand poles inside resemble candy canes, not edible, of course. Santa’s elves give out plenty of edible ones, however. For more, click on: https://youtu.be/0tgOu4rG6fU 1 . XMASTIME HOLIDAYS . Tampa’s HART airs greetings from vets and active duty military “The holiday season is upon us,” declares Hillsborough Area Regional Transit Authority in an early December announcement. HQed in Tampa, Hillsborough County, Fla., HART noted that the eight days of Hanukkah had already begun “and Christmas and Kwanzaa are right around the corner.” “Many families around the world will get together over feasts and chatter, celebrating various beliefs and participating in different traditions,” the transit authority Xmastime message added. “However,” said HART, “some of our family and friends will not have the same opportunity to break bread with their families this holiday season,” including members of U.S. armed forces away from home. “As such,” it said, “we wanted to do something special for troops around the world and locally at MacDill Air Force Base.” So, since the beginning of December, HART and CBS-TV station WTSP have been cooperating on airing holiday greetings from military veteran HART employees and from active duty military to their near and far-flung friends and families.

Muslims held their big happy holiday in August Twin Cities area Muslims held their big annual holiday celebration back in August, at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, where this year’s NFL Super Bowl football championship took place. About 30,000 crowded into the stadium to celebrate Super Eid, an Americanized version of Eid al-Fitr, a traditional Muslim festival marking the end of Ramadan, the Islamic holy month of fasting. As did many Super Bowl fans, so too did many Super Eid participants arrive via public transit. Metro Transit’s light rail line stops near the stadium, as do 20 of its bus lines. After prayer ceremonies in the stadium, they enjoyed a carnival outside, complete with inflatables, pony rides, and a trampoline. Some women wore sparkling head scarfs. Some wore sweatshirts. “It’s like Christmas for the Christians. It’s a time of joy,” said Imam Asad Zaman of the Muslim American Society of Minnesota. At a press conference, Ahmed Anshure, a Super Eid organizer, explained: “At the time of Christmas, families come together and enjoy together. They celebrate together. They eat food together. It’s like that. It’s a time of joy and a time of celebration.” Participants held signs saying Love Your Neighbor, All Are Welcome Here and Eid Mubarak, which translated into American lingo means Happy Holiday. Wednesday Nov. 21 was the Prophet Mohammad's Birthday. In the USA, it’s not an especially big day for American Muslims. For those who do observe it, it’s a day of prayer and study of his philosophy and teachings. Actually, there is no record of when he was born. 2 . XMASTIME HOLIDAYS ..

Hindus on Diwali wish one another Happy Deepavali Diwali is a popular five-day Hindu celebration when Hindus, Sikhs, Jains and others wish one another, “Happy Deepavali, the latter a Sanskrit word for “festival of lights.” Diwali celebrates the victory of good over evil, light over darkness, and knowledge over ignorance. In 2018, it was Nov. 7-11. Next year, it begins Oct. 27. Celebrants light bulbs, candles and sparklers. Homes serve Chai tea, assorted sweets, savories and herbs. Diwali events occur in New York’s Times Square and Disneyland in Anaheim, Calif. This year’s 10th annual Diwali festival along the touristy popular San Antonio Riverwalk in San Antonio, Texas, drew more than 15,000 celebrants. NYC’s Rubin Museum held a Diwali concert where 50 classical musicians performed amid its Himalayan art collection. In the USA, big Diwali celebrations take place far and wide, from Seattle, Wash., and Columbus, Ohio, to Dulles, Va.; Cupertino, Calif., and Cary, North Carolina. USA Buddhists celebrate Christmassy-like Bodhi Day Jan. 13, 2019 is Bodhi Day, when American Buddhists decorate a Bodhi Tree to celebrate when Prince Siddhartha Gautama attained enlightenment and became Buddha 2,592 years ago, while sitting beneath a fig tree. Everyone can’t display a fig tree, of course. They flourish only in places such as Florida and California, although the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture says they grow far north as Philadelphia. Nor is trimming a Bodhi tree worldwide Buddhist practice. It’s done mainly where Christians predominate. “Wherever Buddhism goes, it picks up the customs and bits of the culture from the country it arrives in,” explains a Buddhist web blogger calling herself Monastic Mom. “Of course, Buddhism isn’t alone in incorporating celebrations,” she reminds us, recalling that Christians have adopted ancient pagan customs, including: Xmas trees, Easter eggs, holly wreaths, Yule logs and mistletoe.

XMASTIME HOLIDAYS .. Photo credits: Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority; Lauren Krugel on Twitter. Happy Holidays, displayed on this Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) bus, is overwhelmingly the name choice of public transit systems, although Canadian vehicles, such as the Calgary Transit bus shown continue displaying a traditional Merry Christmas on their destination signs. Canadian bus signs say Happy Hanukkah and Merry Christmas After a secularist rider’s complaint, Saskatoon Transit began displaying “Happy Hanukkah” on its bus destination signs. “To be a little more inclusive,” said a city council member, “we all agreed we needed to extend that same opportunity to other festivals and other holidays and religious events if we were going to keep ‘Merry Christmas’ on the buses,” she said. “I don't want my taxpayer money funding city buses that promote a religion I don't believe in,” the secularist had complained. “Merry Christmas is how I wish a happy season to people around me in Saskatoon, regardless of faith,” said another city official. “Likewise, if I run into somebody from another religion or faith, if they say ‘Happy Hanukkah,’ ‘Happy Kwanzaa,’ or ‘Happy Eid,’ that’s how I take it as well.” Tracing Chanukah’s roots back to – Huh! – Cincinnati? Hanukkah in America “began to be an important Jewish holiday in the second half of the 19th century, when two rabbis in Cincinnati noticed that Jewish children didn't have much connection to their synagogue,” says Dr. Dianne Ashton, professor at Rowan University, Glassboro, N.J., author of a book titled Hanukkah in America. Grampa also heard her say this on a National Public Radio broadcast. Hindu kids get gifts on Pancha Ganapati’s 5th day, Dec. 25 Hindu kids get gifts on Pancha Ganapati’s 5th day, December 25. For Hindu children in America, it’s akin to what Christmas is for neighbor Christian kids. It honors Ganesha, aka Ganapati, patron of arts and guardian of culture, and runs for five days, Dec. 21-25. Like Christmas, Chanukah and Kwanzaa, it’s very family and child oriented. Instead of a tree, a statue of Ganesha is its centerpiece. Ornaments, evergreen branches, and little light bulbs are among decorations present. Photo credit: Chicago Transit Authority. Chicago Transit Authority 60-foot bus runs on more than a dozen different lines thru Dec. 23. Its decoration resembles a glowing red-nose Santa’s reindeer with a far-back sleigh in tow. CTA calls this sleigh puller "Ralphie the Reindeer." 4 . XMASTIME HOLIDAYS .. Illustration credit: Flickr, Qousqous; Catholic Archdiocese of Washington. Left: Saskatoon bus Merry Xmas sign. The word Xmas is not a secular word, but a Christian one dating back at least to the 16th Century.

  • A Framework for Development Through 2026 and Beyond
    PRINCETON UNIVERSITY CAMPUS PLAN A Framework for Development through 2026 and Beyond The Princeton campus must not only house programs and people; it must also foster collaboration, invite “serendipity, nurture inclusivity, cultivate argument, inspire creativity, generate community, and facilitate the rigorous, fearless, and path-breaking pursuit of truth. This campus plan … develops a mission-centered vision both for the campus’s more historic precincts and for areas whose identities are still being shaped—including the campus lands east of Washington Road and south of Lake Carnegie.” — President Christopher L.
