It seems the problem is that they are trying to dis-associate the month of December as the month we celebrate the Birth of Jesus Christ, the fact is that Chanukah and the Birth of Jesus didn't happen this month but we both honor these 2 holidays this month.
Chanukah is Dec 7th a historical and important event for the Jewish people, however CHRISTMAS IMHO is for EVERYONE a time that people might be a bit kinder, friendlier, humble and might look up to the sky with gratitude to Almighty GOD that he loved us human beings so much that he gave us his Son to pay the penalty of sinful people so that WE ALL have an opportunity to live with him for eternity.
This world is one big Train Station we are waiting for that train to take us to our final destination and hopefully we all board the one where Jesus Christ is the conductor..
Hsppy Chanukah to all our Jewish freeper friends!
Actually Chanukah DID happen on the date the Jewish calendar claims it did. The Eight day Chanukah festival begins on the twenty-fifth of the Jewish month of Kislev, every year. When that corresponds to the Gregorian calendar changes from year to year but it's celebrated on the correct date of the historical occurance.
Which is more than can be said for Christmas.
