I've known more than one Jewish family that have celebrated Christmas.
Although, I would have to say they were ethnically Jewish, and perhaps,
not practicing Jews.

So John, with all this Happy Holidays/Merry Christmas hubbub, do you send
two cards out? You know, one for Christmas and one for New Years?
Personally, I always thought that was what Happy Holidays (as in plural)
was about. Stupid me, I never realized it was a communist plot against
that poor downtrodden American minority, Christians.


I doubt you'd find "practicing Jews" celebrating Christmas, if by
celebrating Christmas you mean believing in the "spiritual" aspects of
Jesus.

You'd be suprised at what some interfaith marriages do to satisfy both
spouses religious beliefs and backgrounds.



In the case of my dentist, they're both Iranian (although they say 'Persian' when asked). They just
like the Christmas traditions we have. I'm not sure, but I strongly doubt they partake in the
Christian religious activities.
