Dear Toni-Lee,

    As believing Jews, my family, most friends in Israel, and I, don't celebrate Christmas in any way shape or form, except for eating Chinese food on Christmas Eve [a Jewish joke - it used to be the only type of restaurant open.
For a really funny short (17 min.) video, check out Yingl Belz from YidLife Crisis. It's in Yiddish with English subtitles.].

    But I'm definitely not offended, just as I trust that nobody was offended when I wished people 'Happy Hanuka', though I seriously doubt that my non-Jewish friends were lighting the Hanuka candles, playing with a dreidel or eating latkes [potato & onion pancakes for anyone who doesn't know. Jewish soul food, though only since the 15th C. - we had no potatoes till after 1492 at the earliest...].

   Faith is a good thing, as Martha Stewart would say. 

   So, Merry Christmas to all, and to all, a good night [it's after 2:00am here in Jerusalem, Israel and nothing is stirring, not even a mouse.  Roll Eyes]. Or morning, in East Asia (Thailand, Singapore and Hong Kong).

   By the way, check out Dennis Prager's PragerU take on Faith and holidays.
I think you'll appreciate it. Don't give up the good fight.
   And May G-D Bless us all and one,
Joey
