That's right. Not everyone celebrates the holidays. The Christmas fanfare can easily overlook diversity when the holiday season is marketed and materialized as a Christian holiday and is ever-present at stores and malls across America. Millions of people all over the United States don't celebrate the conventional Christmas. Many non-Christian persons, such as Buddhists, Muslims, Hindus, and Jews - among others, or as individuals with no religious affiliation - possible atheists or agnostics, see the bustle and make the season a manageable situation. 

It is sufficed to say that the late Supreme Court associate justice of the United States, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, was a champion of gender equality, became an icon, designed and led the fight for women’s rights in the 1970s, and subsequently served 27 years on the U.S. Supreme Court. She was 87 years old when she passed away.

I consider myself fortunate to have worked for corporate institutions in Texas and in Nevada, both in the public and private sector industries where the classic provisions of equal employment opportunity were seen, meaning that they were obvious in nature. I’m so glad for that! Having co-workers that represented disabled persons, minority groups, people of varying national origins, races, or ethnicity, both young and old alike, etc. can seem quite normal in some work environments geographically across the U.S., but in the Rio Grande Valley, it may be different or not as usual.
