[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand how an ugly Christmas sweater could have zero to do with Christians and Jesus, what with being an ugly CHRISTMAS sweater.[/quote]

There are a lot of people on DCUM who claims that Christmas is an American holiday, not a Christian one...[/quote]

It isn't many people.  It is a known fact.  83% of Non-Christians celebrate Christmas in America.  Even 34% of Jewish people in American celebrate Christmas.  97% of Christians celebrate Christmas in America.

Put everyone together and 92% of all Americans celebrate Christmas.  So it isn't hearsay.  They are facts.  Only on DCUM do people try and make it out like it is some minority holiday that needs to be hushed hushed all the time.  [/quote]

Americans celebrate Christmas =/= Christmas is an American holiday. That's like saying: Americans wear socks, therefore socks are American clothing.

(And I'd like to see the source of your numbers that 34% of Jews in the US celebrate Christmas, please.)[/quote]

PEW research Center 2013

[i]About a third of Jews (32%) say they had a Christmas tree in their home last year, including 27% of Jews by religion and 51% of Jews of no religion. Erecting a Christmas tree is especially common among Jews who are married to non-Jews; 71% of this group says they put up a tree last year.
