I am asking for a sewing machine. And, I already got it, early. So, that is cool. \nAnd then I also want the CD Wow hits2007, and the Brio magazine. \nBut, I am honestly fine with anything. \nDon't forget the reason for the season!

Christmas and Hanukkah.\nWhy does it have to be one or the other! why not both.  The Christians can have Christmas and the Jewish can have Hanukkah.  Love all people, and let all people be happy with their celebration and with what they believe.  Peace to ALL\n\nMy uncle and my brother bother are married to Jewish ladies.  and they both with their families celebrate Hanukkah, because it comes first, and then they celebrate Christmas.  Celebration is great, it is better than fighting or having any hate toward others. Enjoy, life is short, be happy.

That's a tough one.  Either A Christmas Story or Miracle on 34th St.  I love both of them.  Depends on what mood I'm in.

They Have Hanukkah at the same time as Christmas .\nIf you notice every major christian holiday co-insides with their major holiday .\nThey had major holidays before the Christians .\nIf you remember Christ was supposedly at a Seder ?

Mine is very similar to yours - except that on Christmas Eve we spend the evening with my side of the family doing our gift exchange and dinner. My dad stayed with the kids during Midnight Mass last year, but maybe they'll go this year - who knows? (That's up to my husband, since I'm in the choir). The next morning we all wake up and the kids excitedly head downstairs to open gifts. I am alway amazed that they wait until we are all down there (and happy, too) before they start! The in-laws usually come over for the noon meal and more gifts. Then my husband and father-in-law take over all of the electronic toys and play to their hearts content. Our neighborhood also has a longtime tradition of luminaries - each year on the same date, most houses (it's voluntary, but the more, the better) set up the paper sacks with sand and candles lining the sidewalks, and light them at dusk. The streets are closed to traffic, and people walk around enjoying the sights and togetherness. Several people open their homes for hot cocoa or cider, soup or sandwiches; there are also carriage rides and the Boy Scouts always have a tent set up in the center park with more hot cocoa and cookies. "Santa" and his wife make an appearance and hand out candy canes to passersby. It's very nice, and brings back the simplicity of a bygone era. Carolers often tour the streets, joyfully singing in the cold. The candles continure to burn all night, until they've burned themselves out. Combined with the hushed glory of Midnight Mass, I'd have to say that if that was all I got for Christmas, I'd be more than content!\nMerry Christmas!

"Happy Holidays" is no good either, because you might upset some uppity Atheist.\n\nI believe the new phrase is "Have an acceptable consecutive 24 hours".  (;\n\nSeriously though, "happy holidays" should be an acceptable compromise, no?  You've got all your bases covered, and a non-holiday-celebrating person should be mature enough to not be bothered by it.  It's silly to Jews, since we have holidays throughout the year, and though a lot of Jews treat Chanukah like some sort of Jewish Christmas, they're not really the same at all.  But it's cool.  We'll meet you halfway.\n\nAs for why a Jew (or other religious minority) might be upset by "Merry Christmas," try to understand where they're coming from.  Various peoples have been mercilessly persecuted by Christians over the last two thousand years.  Yeah, I know, it's not like you're the one who burned so-and-so's great great great Grandfather at the stake in the name of Jesus.  BUT, you can at least understand why such a person might not be so merry about Christmas, can't you?\n\nI think that those among my own people who get offended when wished Merry Christmas (though if they're wearing a yarmulke you should probably know better) are a little too tightly wound, BUT, I can see their point.\n\nI think "happy holidays" is the best we're going to get.\n\nOr how about what you said?  "Glad tidings to all!"\n\n...I'm reminded of Krusty the Clown (the character from the Simpsons), who at the end of his Non-Denominational Holiday Special, wished his viewers a "Marry Christmas, Happy Chanukah, a Kwwwaaaaazy Kwanza, and a solemn, dignified Ramadan".\n\nHey, you could try that one.

Great question, and I am with you...here are some stats based on a 2003 FOX News national poll conducted December 3-4 by Opinion Dynamics Corporation. \n\nPolling was conducted by telephone December 3-4, 2003 in the evenings. The sample is 900 registered voters nationwide with a margin of error of ±3 percentage points.  \n\n1. Which of these late December holidays do you celebrate? (Multiple responses allowed)\n\n1. Christmas - 96%\n2. Hanukkah - 5%\n3. Kwanzaa - 2%\n4. (Other/Refused) - 1%\n5. (None) - 1%\n\nSo, I say if the majority celebrates it...why let the minority get us down...

A Christmas Story.\nIt makes me laugh every time I watch it.  In my family, it's a tradition!

Yes, I celebrate the eight traditional sabbats; or did while My Steve, my high priest, was alive.  Now I mostly note that they have come (he died just before Yule), and remember what we would have done in our rituals.\n\nI also celebrate the Christian holidays because my friends and neighbors include me in their celebrations, and I notice the Jewish holidays because Steve's mother and sister are Jews.  He was too, genetically, but he always said I liked Jews better than he did!\n\nPersonally, I say any excuse for a party!

I love to be around with my family and friends during Christmas time. I also want to go away far away with family and friends. Somewhere peaceful where we can have a peaceful, and beautiful Christmas.
