[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A recent article on exactly this topic: https://www.kveller.com/our-jewish-kids-shouldnt-have-to-lie-about-santa/?fbclid=IwAR3qw8Oc7OsQnrPwO8xGjHZqdqDsD-AXCNjRVdaNnaMnW3ZjSpcwAskfGgM

I totally agree that it is not on is to keep the "magic alive" for other people's kids. People from the dominant religion have no idea how difficult this time of year can be for the rest of us and our kids don't need that burden.[/quote]

Why would this time of year be difficult? Hannakah is a very exciting time for Jewish kids. [/quote]

Are you joking with this question? This time of year is so hard for Jewish kids. Hanukkah is a minor holiday in the Jewish calendar and not something that is equivalent to Christmas. Honestly though, the issue has nothing to do with the status of Hanukkah and is all about the fact that everything becomes about Christmas for the whole month of December. Every library story time is a Christmas story, every craft workshop is a Christmas craft. Santa visits every activity, etc.activity [/quote]
