Video Can Christmas Cards Be Inappropriate? - The View

[fight_truth_decay]

Joy Behar is an Italian-American who was raised Catholic in Brooklyn. Her ex, Joe Behar, is Jewish

I don’t mind getting Hanukkah cards. It shows the sender is thinking of you and wishes you well. What’s the big deal?

sending her a religious-​themed Christmas card would be like sending Mel Gibson a Hanukkah card

I'd bet he wouldn't take offense at all. I certainly wouldn't. I would be happy that somebody considered me in their "well-wishes".

Why do people have to be such a**holes all the time?

[GOPJ]

I pray for people who are excessively thin-skinned.

This witch loves to play the victim card.

If somebody sent me a hanukkah card, I would think, "Oh, it hanukkah and somebody sent me a card. How nice."

Why the hell would weirdos like Joy Behar tie their testicles in a knot and perceive some insult.

Boy, is that snarly shrew inappropriately named. I guess it's like calling the fattest guy you know "Tiny."

I don't understand why anyone would send a Christmas card to a Jewish person in the first place. That's why they have Hannukah cards, and those generic "Holiday Greetings" cards.

Christmas is a Christian holiday celebrating the birth of Jesus, there's nothing "generic" about it. All the rest of the hoopla comes to us courtesy of Your Friendly Merchants Association...

I've noticed over the years that my non-Christian (Jewish and Hindu) colleagues are much more apt to say “Merry Christmas” than the supposed “Christian” ones do. The “Christian” ones blurt out “Happy Holidays”. I used to correct them, but I stopped because it's like talking to dryer lint.

And I have exchanged Christmas/Hannukah presents with Jewish folks; no problems at all.

why would Mel Gibson object to a card celebrating a Maccabean historical legend?

Mel could probably do a great script about the Maccabees and what they became and what they did to fellow Jews.

In fact, Alexander Jannaeus might just be Mel Gibson’s kind of guy .... nasty temper and all

As a catholic I’d be happy to receive a hanukkah card and wouldn’t bother sending anyone a generic non themed card.

A jewish self described ‘progressive’ invites me to her very nice Seder dinner every year. I go, have a good time, and thank her for not dumbing it down to a mere ‘holiday’ party.

[NonValueAdded]

The title is misleading and an example of removing context from someone’s remarks. Not that I have one whit of care for “why would anybody name her Joy” Behar, but fair is fair.

Then, Sherri Shepherd offensively, I think, tells Barbara Walters, who’s Jewish, that she prays for her, as if Walters needs it?

Everyone needs prayer. Even Christ asked for prayers in Gethsemane.

[Ditter]

I am a Christian and a Hanukkah card would certainly not offend me anymore than a Santa Claus card does. I am not offended by, but am a little tired of, pictures of other peoples grandchildren. That seems to be something that my friends are doing now. I don't know their grandchildren, most of the time I don't even know their grown children. I would never say this to anyone of them, I just vent on FR.

[ZULU]

I wish Jewish People Happy Hanukkah and send them Hanukkah Cards and wish Christians like me Merry Christmas and send them Christmas cards. Other people get the have a nice holiday greeting or card. If we get people mixed up, so what? We’re all people.

Behar is a pandering leftist harlot trying to stir up enmity between people.

I send our Jewish friends a Christmas card every year. Sometimes I have special ones just for the Jewish friends, sometimes I don’t. Either way, I include our “Christmas Eve Open House” invitation in the envelope in the card.

My husband works with a lot of Jewish people, and since he’s inviting office people, he always includes his Jewish friends. It would seem rude to shun them when all the other employees are invited.

Rather than take offense, over the years, every single Jewish friend has taken us up on the offer. At a time when the whole country seems to be celebrating Christmas in the commercial world, they appreciate the chance to share in the festivities in the more personal setting of a Christian home.

Wawa definitely needs it.

Spin a prayer wheel and light a Joss stick for her as well. She needs all the help she can get.
