Many of the elderly Jews of my acquaintance came to America to escape being murdered in their own countries. They did not expect America to change to their needs; they understood that what made America different was that anyone could worship as he pleased. The dominant religion was Christianity when they arrived, so they were polite and grateful. Unlike the Muslims and other ethnics of today who cynically take advantage of the left's political correctness to erase the excellent almost secular traditions we enjoy.
"They're Reform Jews and I doubt they'd take offense at getting a Christmas card"
There again, why would anyone ever take offense at receiving a loving gesture in whatever religious form it takes?
I'm happy when friends remember me at the holidays. If they are friends, they will know that I'm a Reform Jew and not send me a Christmas card. A 'Happy Holidays' card is fine. I'm not trying to make the 2 events equal, I just appreciate the sentiment.
If someone didn't know I was Jewish and sent a Christmas card, I'm not going to be angry. Being black, people make assumptions. I get all kinds of Kwanzaa greetings from idiotic white people. If they knew anything about the history of Kwanzaa or its creator, they wouldn't even bring up the subject with me.
Just say "Merry Christmaramahanakwanzmas"

It has just about become that silly -- "holiday trees" and "candelabra," indeed. The next thing, the radical secularists will demand that a crucifix be called "that hanging man" and a Torah scroll be called "that piece of paper."
Oh please, They will not feel awkward. No not let the anti-Christmas propaganda get to you.
They are my brothers and sisters.
For us Christians, it's stupid for the branches to boast against the root, isn't it?
THE LAW IS THE LAW
I hope this makes its way around the USA several times over!!!!!
So Be It!
THE LAW IS THE LAW
So if the US government determines that it is against the law for the words "under God" to be on our money, then,
so be it.
And if that same government decides that the "Ten Commandments" are not to be used in or on a government installation, then,
so be it.
And since they already have prohibited any prayer in the schools, on which they deem their authority, then,
so be it.
I say, "so be it," because I would like to be a law abiding US citizen.
I say, "so be it," because I would like to think that smarter people than I are in positions to make good decisions. I would like to think that those people have the American Publics' best interests at heart.
BUT, YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE I'D LIKE?
Since we can't pray to God, Trust in God and cannot Post His Commandments in Government buildings, I don't believe the Government and it's employees should participate in celebrations which honor the God that our government is eliminating from many facets of American life.
I'd like my mail delivered on Christmas, Good Friday, Thanksgiving & Easter.
After all, it's just another day.
I'd like the US Supreme Court to be in session on Christmas, Good Friday, Thanksgiving & Easter as well as Sundays.
After all, it's just another day.
I'd like the Senate and the House of Representatives to not have to worry about getting home for the "Christmas Break."
After all ~ it's just another day.
I'm thinking that a lot of my taxpayer dollars could be saved, if all government offices & services would work on Christmas, Good Friday & Easter, be just like any other day of the week to a government that is trying to be "politically correct". I think that our government should work on Sundays (initially set aside for worshiping God...) because, after all, our government says that it should be,
just another day.
What do you all think????
If this idea gets to enough people, maybe our elected officials will stop giving in to the minority opinions and begin, once again, to represent the majority of ALL of the American people.
SO BE IT...........
Please Dear Lord, Give us the help needed to keep you in our country!
'Amen' and 'Amen'

I respect your opinion, even if you do not respect mine. And I do think it's great that although you appear to be an Orthodox Jew, you are in the Christmas spirit with your greeting and tree - just shows how ridiculous and mean-spirited this whole anti-Christmas thing is.
A Happy Holidays card works for me. My family is a bit sensitive about getting Merry Christmas cards.
As far as saying Merry Christmas, I say it to all the clerks in the stores I go to, regardless of their store policy. Pisses off management. If you see a manager in a store that is promoting happy holiday instead of Merry Christmas, make sure you wish him/her a very merry. :)
bttt!
And the atheists and the corporate PR idiots who are striving to be politically-correct and offend NO one.
And followers of Humanism, who are moral relativists...where they have usurped the Judeo-Christian standards of right and wrong with those which are subjective and individual.
Great move, I love this!
For those of us who have fallen behind, what are the exact dates of Hanukkah and is they a brief background link. I know I've read it before but a reminder is always a good thing. After all Christianity arose out of Judaism and all the Jewish holidays should still be significant to Christians.
LOL, I depend heavily on FreeRepublic to let me know exactly when Hanukkah starts so I can surprise all my Jewish friends by saying Happy Hanukkah the minute I see them. It always puts a HUGE smile on their faces.
Eactly. Also, the producer of the film "Gods and Generals," which treated Christians beliefs with respect, happened to be Jewish.
