[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We celebrate both. Menorah and Christmas Tree have been out since last wekeend (of cource the menorah is not lit but the tree sure is). We visited Santa and are looking forward to Hanukkah! I don't see a reason not to do both. That said we talk about the miracle at Hannukah and other religious aspects but we do treat Christmas as a secular holiday. We don't talk about the birth of Jesus. So maybe it is more correct to say we celebrate Hanukkah and Santa Clause coming to town. [/quote] And I bet there are families doing the opposite -- talking about the miracle of Christ's birth and lighting Hanukkah candles without religious context. It will be interesting to see how children exposed to religious/cultural practices in this way will react when they are parents.[/quote]
