They stand around singing songs their peeps wrote for us, watch everyone eat ham and even sing songs that end in “Chri i st the Lord”.

Lol they have a good time! Guilt free.

What else ?!!!

The jews I’ve known all do christmas just like everyone else. Lets face it. Your average american family christmas has nothing to do with christ...or any other religion.

You describe some my Jewish classmates in grade school. In grade school, the 7th and 8th grades, our best bass singer was Bob Cohen. He, Farnbach and Dunn made Lo, How a Rose E'er Blooming, O Little Town of Bethelehem and We Three Kings work. Other Jewish friends would come over Christmas night and we'd go out to a movie, maybe eat somewhere if we could find something open. Dairy Queen was always open Christmas evening. Gosh, those were good days.

Many secular Christians have told me that Christmas is my holiday too, and some of them get very angry or even nasty when I tell them that I don’t want to celebrate it, calling me “Grinch” or “Scrooge.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I’m christian and I havn’t had a christmas tree in 15 years. I’ve never put up christmas lights...and I’ve never sent christmas cards.

Christmas is an old pagan holiday that was Christianized by the Church. Easter is the real Christian holiday because at that time of year Christ asked us to remember him...

Hildy, I love Christmas too. Love the season, the music, the lights, the mood. This funny story happened to me two years ago.

Our family was suffering from Obamanomics and my dad won a great prize: a full year of tickets to one of L.A.s biggest venues. So he was generous to give them to me and I was selling them. One guy bought two different shows from me, and it was near the holidays. We talked on the phone about holidays and somehow got onto Christmas carols and we discussed our favorites. I confessed that I was Jewish but still loved them. He confessed that he was Jewish too! We had a long laugh. He had the absolute best collection of Christmas songs ever, totally eclectic, from classics through Jimi Hendrix. Everything. He made a copy of his whole collection and put it on discs and sent it to me.

I have been hooking my phone to my car radio and listening to his collection again this year. I don’t know his name any more but I thank him mentally all the time. They are fantastic. I added a smaller collection of hannukah music to it and it just is the best collection to shuffle and enjoy.
