Festivals, religions, beliefs....

I am writing this on a Christmas eve. I thought of sharing something which I found very strange among us. Though we all share the same natural resources, breathe in same air, suck in same water, see the same world, have the same color of blood; we have divided ourselves in the name of religion, caste, language, color, traditional bollix.
In the recent days, I started believing the fact that God is beyond the religions. It is not because I lost hope on my religion. It is just because spiritual feeling is about oneness not dividing based on any of the above-mentioned factors.
I have seen people who don't celebrate certain festivals. Its just because they are not part of that religion or don't believe that that festival needs to be celebrated by their group of people. Why can't we just celebrate the festivals...any sort of festivals that our country celebrates. Doesn't it bring us joy and give opportunity to have good time with our friends? Why can't we dump our traditional bollix and try to embrace the joyous radiation around us?
After all, we are not doing any sin...just being happy with people. Has any of our religion opposed that concept of being happy?
