Do your local newpapers have article headlines such as "-your town- Celebrates Chanukah" like my local newspapers?

I am pretty sure they will not say anything universal like that when Christmas comes around. Sure Christmas has its origins in traditions other than the New Testament, but it is what Christmas represents which is important; that the West was founded and blessed as Christians, in particular Protestants.

We constantly hear about the way the ACLU controlled, politically correct establishment is attacking Christmas, most recently in Denver, Colorado. But without Christmas, the alien religions are no longer subdued.

Chanukah is not even a religious observance dictated by the Old Testament which includes only Passover (deliverance from the death angel), Feast of Unleavended Bread (Israel's exodus from Egypt), Wavesheaf Offering, Feast of Pentacost, Trumpets, Atonement, Feast of Tablenackles, and the Last Great Day which is unknown.

So Chanukah is a basically either a bullshit observance akin to Halloween or if true, it is equivalent to celebrating the victory of the Colonists over the Pequots or the victory of the Allies in dropping the Atomic bombs on Japan to end WWII. Either way digusting, alien religions gain as Christianity's significance is reduced by the PC bastards.

The towns here (in Flanders) all openly celebrate Christmas. I was under the assumption that most American towns did so too.

Ive never really followed this but to my vague recollection the leftist globe goes for "Happy Holidays".

Interestingly before the Victorian era apparently Christmas was not widely celebrated in the NE, Puritans thought Christmas was a pagan holiday with no biblical basis( Cromwell during his rule made laws on the subject, shops must remain open churches must remain closed).

Why is it spelled with a "C"? :confused: I seen some calendars spelled Hanukah. Maybe it's to confound the goyim. :p

Hanukah is a minor holiday in Israel. It is Kwanza for Jews. Ignore it.

Hanukkah is celebrated for eight days and nights, starting on the 25th of Kislev on the Hebrew calendar (which is November-December on the Gregorian calendar). In Hebrew, the word "Hanukkah" means "dedication."

The holiday commemorates the rededication of the holy Temple in Jerusalem after the Jews' 165 B.C.E. victory over the Hellenist Syrians. Antiochus, the Greek King of Syria, outlawed Jewish rituals and ordered the Jews to worship Greek gods.

In 168 B.C.E. the Jews' holy Temple was seized and dedicated to the worship of Zeus.

Some Jews were afraid of the Greek soldiers and obeyed them, but most were angry and decided to fight back.

Opinions differ as how to best represent the hacking phlegm sound so characteristic of semitic languages.

My school, heavily Jewish, has a Christmas tree up, but I can't see a menorah anywhere. Odd.

Despite my family's Anglicanism, my mom made latkes. I fucking love latkes. Plus, if olive oil is used, you can eat more than one or two without feeling greasy.

Sinclair, are you sure that is not a Chanukah Bush? :jew: :p

Coincidentally, the cable news stations actually had commentary on the "Happy Holidays" phenomena versus "Merry Christmas." They didn't take a position but noticed that Macy's and other stores that make most of their money because of Christmas now deny so as not to offend Jews and Muslims.

I am actually pissed because I recently was at a store with one of those stupid Santa's at the entrance and since I wearing shorts and it was about 40 degrees he tried to make a joke of some kind. I said something like about like I couldn't believe the summer was over. But since he tried to be good natured I said "Merry Christmas" and then I realized that the politically correct coward was too intimidated to say "Merry Christmas" back. That store is having a Menorah lighting so maybe he was told by management to not offend the Jews. The thing the Jews I know of are not particularly offended by such greetings. It is the ADL and ACLU bastards who inflict the oppression on free speech.
