"What is it about Christmas that you think that Jews hate? the no traffic, the vacation days, the gorgeous lights lining the streets and the houses and the shopping squares, the carolers, do you think we hate the the giant spike in retail?" lol

[@albertsordi9351]

Sara is wrong. The Litttle Drummer Boy was written by Henry Honorato and Henry Simione.... neither Jewish.

[@robertbloom4424]

"The Little Drummer Boy" was written by Katherine Kennicott Davis (originally titled "The Carol of the Drum").

[@grenvthompson]

[@tori2dles]

Thank you. This “War on Christmas” thing makes me NUTS. When people at my church started griping about the phrase “Happy Holidays” (which has been said as long as “Merry Christmas” has been said), I countered with, “So, you do realize that ‘happy’ means the same thing as ‘merry’ and that ‘holidays’ literally means ‘HOLY days,’ don’t you? Isn’t Christmas one of the most holy days of the year?” Modern culture now takes “Holidays” to mean Hanukkah, Christmas, Kwanza & New Years. And that’s great; much more inclusive. But the phrase was originally invented by the Church to give good wishes for the entire season around Christmas: •Advent - anticipation for Christmas starting several weeks before • Christmas itself • Epiphany - commemorates the Adoration of the Magi, the Baptism of Jesus and the Wedding at Cana during the first half of January. Those who still have a grip on the liturgical calendar know this. It’s mainstream Evangelicals who trended decades ago to get away from traditionalism who don’t know their own church history. So they actually believe that a beautiful, poignant greeting INVENTED BY CHRISTIANS centuries ago is actually an affront to Christians! It’s insane and ignorant. Thank you, Sarah, for a light-hearted take on this topic from our Jewish friends. I’d love to hear it from a Muslim’s perspective since, like Christians, they also celebrate the birth of Jesus by the Virgin Mary. War on Christmas ... sheesh.

[@fia4459]

I don't think muslims celebrate Christmas or any other Christian holiday even though they do believe in him as the Messiah and his virgin birth.

Brilliant segment. Not even glancing at the comments. Anyone writing a ridiculously toxic remark needs to seriously contemplate their own insecurities and/or intelligence.

[@cincocharms1233]

Yes , they must be mentally ill and in need of medication and reprogramming. Your way is the only way! I am a low IQ drone in dire need of guidance from SS. She knows the way and the truth. She is not a hypocrite and does not lie. She only wants to help. She is not a wealthy bolshievik with sinister motives. I am the one who is the problem. Amen.

[@MsZephyra]

I'm curious - seriously - to know where you get the impression that she has "sinister motives". I mean, nobody's perfect, we're all at least a bit hypocritical sometimes...but her intentions seem good to me. I would love to know what reliable source you're getting your impression from. Btw, I have no problem with healthy debate or respectful disagreement. My problem is with the regular barrage of unnecessarily toxic comments that she tends to get, and I still don't see any rationality behind them other than people (usually men, sorry but true) coming off as having insecurities or really outdated views. Care to explain?

[@cincocharms1233]

MsZephyra Ouch! If you are truly curious, figure it out for yourself. If a low intelligence cretin troll such as myself can figure it out, I'm fairly certain that regular people, with better brains and with minimal effort, can be made aware of what is going on here. Have a nice Holiday winter season.

Fun fact: In the mid-17th century, a wave of religious reform transformed the way in which Christmas was celebrated in England. Oliver Cromwell -- a statesman and General responsible for leading the parliamentary army during the English Civil War -- took over England in 1645. Supported by his Puritan forces, Cromwell believed it was his mission to cleanse the country of decadence. In 1644 he enforced an Act of Parliament banning Christmas celebrations. Christmas was regarded by the Puritans as a wasteful festival that threatened core Christian beliefs. Consequently, all activities relating to Christmas, including attending mass, were forbidden. Not surprisingly, the ban was hugely unpopular and many people continued to celebrate Christmas secretly.

[@cybramir]

Thank you for this. The whole ‘we need to say Merry Christmas’ again thing is so silly. Point is, we say ‘Happy Holidays’ more now because most of us have figured out that, get this, Christmas isn’t the only fucking holiday happening at the end of the year. We have a variety of cultures and holidays going on in this country and saying “Merry Christmas!” to someone who doesn’t celebrate Christmas makes you look and sound stupid. It’s just way easier to say Happy Holidays and that way you’ll never be wrong or have to guess what someone celebrates lmao

[@Quinntus79]

It’s not even the only Christian Holiday in December. Holy Innocents Day, Feast of the Immaculate Conception, Feast of our lady of Guadalupe, Feast of the Holy Family, and St. Nicholas Day to name a few.

irvin martinez Of course not. Real Christians are not involved in this kind of bullshit. This brand of American Evangelical Christianity has nothing to do with the teachings of Jesus. It's completely hypocritical. They support people like Roy Moore. They preach the Prosperity Gospel, which is directly contrary to the teachings of Jesus. They rely primarily on the Old Testament and even that they take out of context. The whole thing is a sham. It's a money-making operation.
