Jews get a bad rap from all this anti-Christmas stuff. It is not Jews who object to Merry Christmas, it is secularists.

"Jews get a bad rap from all this anti-Christmas stuff. It is not Jews who object to Merry Christmas, it is secularists."

I believe you're absolutely correct on all counts. In my experience, Jewish people have been very gracious about the holidays I celebrate. And I, in return, treat their observances with equal amounts of respect.

Secularists, athiests, the ACLU and other agenda-ridden lefties are the perpetrators of the Christmas debacle. It's heartening to see we've got a backlash in play. I vote we go after them and bury this nonsense as quickly as possible.

Yes. Secularist, liberal Jews.

It is not Jews who object to Merry Christmas, it is secularists.

And the atheists and the corporate PR idiots who are striving to be politically-correct and offend NO one.

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.

No its Marxist who want to destroy our culture.

Well said. It's secularists for sure, formerly of a variety of faiths. Secularists who now hate religious holy days which they are free to ignore but wanting to take them from us, too, so deep is their hatred of anything religious.

110% right on that. I have never taken offense at being wished a Merry Christmas, or even folks asking if I've done my holiday shopping. I like getting everyone's cards and newsletters - it's nice to have real mail and it shows they care! I find it more than a little bizarre the notion that people put up "holiday" trees. And chanukah bushes - don't even go there. (Mine would be a palm tree shading a three olive martini.)

I say enjoy your holidays to the fullest as I would like to enjoy mine.
