" they sang of lighting candles for Hanukkah,"



Why the fear of upsetting the Jews, but no fear of upsetting the Christians?

Absolutely! What is the rule of thumb here?

Do not offend anyone but Christians??? The Christians can be offended by all? Leave the Christians out of the parades, programs and songs?

It leaves me speechless.

Well, I think the Jewish people get enough flack and their traditions shouldn't be brought into the argument - their faith should be protected.

I live in a Anglo/WASP/Christian community, right beside a predominantly Jewish community - the signs posted all up and down our street say, "Merry Christmas and Happy Hannukah."

So all is not completely lost, but I do think both religions are under attack.
