[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^ That data is sad. I think people should follow their religion. I'm not Jewish. [/quote]

I think people should be free to celebrate however they choose. Lots of Jews (like my husband) marry non-Jews. O
[/quote] Of course. I believe in free will. People should be whatever faith they believe, but then stick too it. I don't understand the mishmash. I don't do anything with Jewish holidays because that's not my faith and I never will even if I liked the "spirit" of the holiday. [/quote]

It is typical for people married to non Jews to celebrate Christmas.  How do we know that the 32% of Jews overall who celebrate Christmas aren't mainly people who fall into the 71% of Jews married to non-Jews who celebrate Christmas?  [/quote]

Because if you read the article and looked at it, those 32 percent are religious Jews who are either NOT married or married into their Jewish faith.  Most of them are on the younger side (20-40's)

The whole point is that Christmas in America is very much a secular holiday.  Many families celebrate it without adding religion to it.
