[quote=Anonymous]I'm Jewish and not offended by being wished a Merry Christmas by strangers. I AM offended when people assume it's a universal holiday, or assume that as Jew that I celebrate it anyway. It IS a lovely, joyous holiday, but I don't celebrate it. Pagan roots or Christian ones, I'm neither. I find the commercialism silly. The message being sent to my kids from external forces is that ALL kids get Santa and presents and decorations and at least two whole months out of the year getting hyped up for it all. I keep it reined in because we have our own beautiful holidays to celebrate and our own ways of giving gifts, but they're just not as bold and public as Christmas. So yeah, Christmas is lovely, but if for 2 whole months there was something that you didn't celebrate being thrown in your face, after a while you too might internally roll your eyes every time someone wished you a "Happy Day-you-dont-believe-in" [/quote]
