Happy Holo-day!

I think there’s something about Christmas that once upon a time made jews nostalgic. For the days of their youth maybe. Church bells, Christmas carols, snowfall, revelry, sledding and Christians acting the part.

But with themselves looking at it from the outside as usual.

Still, it struck a chord within them. And they created some memorable songs and movies about it back in the day: White Christmas, Do You Hear What I Hear, Rudolf the Red-Nosed Reindeer, I'll be Home For Christmas, and many others. Though trying their best to avoid mentioning Jesus.

Now, with its mechanized and mercenary consumerism, Christmas has degenerated into another secular grind. No silver bells. No chestnuts roasting on open fires. No tiny tots with their eyes all a-glow. Even Jesus gets stuck in the traffic jam. And no more jewish Christmas songs. Nope, now it's non-stop howling about the holocaust.

"The Germans celebrated Christmas. YOU celebrate Christmas. Therefore, you're worshiping a nazi!"

It's become kinda’ like Japan, where Christmas is a popular but artificial holiday (though weirdened in that unique, Japanese way).

Anyway, I’m so old I remember a time when jews were talented.

Now?

They can’t even write a top forty Christmas song.

But, whaddya' wanna' bet that The Holocaust Howl will be getting a lot of air time this Christmas?
