No reason not to. I don’t LOVE Christmas but it’s nice. Why anyone has a problem with it is their problem.

Jesus/Yeshuah spread Judaism around the world.

As I once told an old friend who was Jewish, as a Christian, most of my heroes are Jewish.

Christmas is a time for love and decency to come to fore.

There is no reason Jewish citizens cannot respect this, even if they choose not to celebrate

I looked it up, and many of our favorite Christmas songs are written singly or in partnership with a Jew.

To me, much as I have loved them, they are secular Christmas songs and not the more traditional Christ-centered hymns.

It’s wise in both religions to celebrate the arrival of the messiah, Emanuel.

I'm Jewish, and have never had problems saying "Merry Christmas," either to Christians I know, or people I don't know. And when someone, even a friend who knows I'm Jewish, wishes me "Merry Christmas," I thank them, and wish the same for them.

The people who get "insulted" are just miserable a$$hats looking to make others as miserable as they are.

I have to say, I did feel a bit self-conscious the other day, after wishing an Indian (Asian, not American,) coworker a Merry Christmas on the phone the other day, not knowing her religion (Hindu?) I said it without thinking, she did thank me.
