I had a police colleage friend, devout Buddhist wearing Buddha pendant. Rich man's son, lived in a bungalow and drove an RX7, signed on police only because he was frightened about army training. He never failed to celebrate Christmas eve every year with a big drinking and feasting party at one of the posh hotel restaurants FOC for us.

Vesak Day, he said he wasn't interested, too boring, let the elderlies settle it. :p
