I must have missed something...I thought that's what Christmas was celebrating.

course you can't say Merry Christmas anymore, they can't call it Christmas break.

*screams JJJJJJJJJJJ*..i posted that for minnow..its her religion..and i didnt want to exclude her and her beliefs..at this time of year..you knew what i was saying..grrr..*pops ya on the head*..and your right..the true meaning of christmas is lost nowadays..its all about presents and what are you gonna buy me..i wish we could go back to the simple ways..celebrate the birth of christ as it was meant to be..but that starts at home..and so many children today dont even know the christmas story..cuz no one ever told them..Makes me sad to think and its only getting worse..I had a nice exp the other nite..I had carolers from a local church..And to my suprise..all of them were teenagers..it was such a nice feeling to hear them ask if they could say a prayer for me..You just dont see teens doing that anymore..at least i dont..But anyhow..it made my nite..

Thanks Blaze for putting the dreidle on this thread for me *S* I thought it was sweet. I guess I'm confused too cos I always thought that Christmas was one day out of the year not "this time of the year" or is it twelve days of Christmas and where did that come from anyway? Lots of celebrations go on all over the world at "this time of year" and I think it was a bunch of tree worshiping druids or some pagans that started it all as a winter solstice event *L* To the best of my knowledge, the actual historical birth of Jesus according to the Hebrew calander would put it somewhere in June or July but then around the sixth century a Catholic guy, hmmm...can't remember what he was...bishop? began the whole Christian celebration of the birth of Christ and put it around the winter solstice because it was already such a widely celebrated event. But I could be totally wrong about all of this *L*...cos I'm just a Jew. What would I know? *L*

------------------

[minnow~]

well...ok wait...I do know something *L*...St. Nicholas was a real person. He was Russian if memory serves me (I could go look it up but I'm too lazy *L*) and he used to go around and throw small bags of coins into the stockings of poor girls who left them to dry in front of the fireplace because without any kind of a dowry they would have not have been desirable wife material and would have ended up in a life a prostitution. I think that is a really good story to tell Christain kids around the fireplace on Christmas Eve while sipping hot cocoa *L*

------------------

[minnow~]

yeah...clearly I'm the hypersensitive one *L*

the "I'm only a Jew" comment was a joke *L*...just a touch of irony.

So was the comment about telling kids that story (you'll note the *L* after those comments indicating that I was laughing when I said them) I find it the history of a lot of these celebrations funny...so sue me...I also find it humorous that Hanukkah begins (as is true with many Jewish holidays) with a bloody war, decapitation and the slaughtering of pigs *LOL*

Generally we leave those parts out when we get invited to local schools to present on the holiday *L*
