This Jew on Christmas

I am not a Christian nor am a bothered by Christianity. I am a proud member of Western Civ built largely upon Christian ethos. I have never been insulted or mistreated by any Christian. I have never felt unwelcome in any Christian's home or Church even as an identified Jew. I have visited numerous Churches in a variety of ceremonies.

I am not bothered by a Christmas Tree in a public Square. I like the holiday spirit and the idea of families coming together for festive occaisons. The far left talks about toooolllerance but is intollerant of anything that does not fit in their Marxist adgenda.

This is the Christmas season and I will not say holiday season. I live in a mostly Christian country and enjoy the benefits of secular law and civil tolerance. Compare my situation with Christians , Hindus and others living under Communism or Shariah.
No country in the history of the planet has ever treated my people with more love and kindness then the USA.

i agree with you fully. i don't understand the necessity to change the words around, nor do i want to. it doesn't offend me, or the people in my town. in fact, it just plain pisses us off.

i was driving around one town over and a church put up the message 'Christmas isn't a bad word.' i had a good laugh.

I remember a friend of mine from grade school, with an arab father and philipino mother telling me a joke about jews..he laughed, and i thought to myself "i dont get it" of course there was nothing to get.
He was obviously spewing some nonsense from his arab father.
Most of my clients have been jews, and they have been a pleasure to work for, unlike some others who shall remain racially anonymous.
Unfortunately any racism I have experienced in my life has come from my fellow "whites" and the occasional "black" [is that politically correct?]

The Christmas season is both religious and cultural. If one doesn't adhere to the religious aspect, one should be able to appreciate the cultural aspect. Besides, many Christmas customs are just plain fun!

"Holiday tree"--or, even worse, "winter tree"--sounds inane to me. Sheesh!

I'll admit, I do not understand the obsession that the far left has with Christmas. Its strange and makes no sense.

There are Christian fundamentalist sects that wish Christmas to be only a religious occasion without the marketing and celebration of the non-religious and pseudo-Christians that profess their Christianity which bears more than a passing resemblance to the gospel of Karl Marx. (Hiya ducky!)

Why do I suspect, that in a parallel universe, there is an ACLU railing against these "religious fanatics" for imposing their religious beliefs on the rest of us and turn this secular celebration of family into a religious occasion.

To my Christian family, Merry Christmas.

To my Jewish family, Happy Hanukkah.

My thoughts and prayers are with you as we enter a new year.

To those of you offended by my prayers and wishes of health, GO SOAK YOUR HEAD!
