An inspired message from our pal Craig offers an important consideration of the "true meaning" of the holiday season for Americans.

Craig Glazer: Why Do American Jews Celebrate Christmas?
Oh boy, Jews in America even buy Christmas trees, decorate and of course get their family gifts that are only open Xmas morning! That's a fact. No not all Jews but too many too count for sure. Is it because they believe in Jesus as the son of God? No. Then why. The Jews in our country believe in America, thats why. Christmas, like Thanksgiving is an American Holiday thats hard to miss right. The great food, the fun, the lights, the tv specials, the families getting together. What happened to Hanukkah? Of course many Jewish families still do the seven nights of that holiday which falls on or near Xmas, yep seven nights of gifts, what a hassle. Isn't one big day BETTER?
As a kid and being a baby boomer, my older relatives would all stop by our house each night of Hanukkah and give us three boys gifts. The gifts were usually somewhat pedestrian, underwear, a sweater, a shirt, maybe a few bucks, no biggies for the most part. As time marched on our families started gathering on Christmas Day for that one big gift and nice meal, instead of all the smaller ones. Yep I sure liked getting a bike instead of a tie, who wouldn't. More important we felt left out of the big day. It's become such an American Holiday with the parades and in KC the Plaza and so much more. How about that great Christmas music played non stop. Hey we got brainwashed. Man were us kids jealous of the Christian kids who got to do the Xmas thing and we didn't. Not only all that but the Christmas vacation from school was such a huge deal, we wanted to belong. You sure can't miss all those advertising minutes on the tube or at stores and online, right.
For many Christians its still a very religious holiday that's true, but for Jews who want to participate its just so American and Jews love America. Hey I married a non Jewish girl years back and we even had a Christmas tree, it looked so nice and did lift your spirits.
Many Christians celebrate Yom Kippur, a high Jewish holiday. Why? That one is more for business reasons. That is the Jewish High Holiday and most Jews make the trip to the synagogue at least on that day. If you live in Hollywood or New York you will notice tons of Christians at the services, why business respect. Yes all the biggies from the Jewish business world are there from film makers to billionaire bankers and more, good idea to rub shoulders and see them afterwords at the lunch and dinner parties.
Ah its All-American. So Jewish, Christian, or whatever you were born to be or became...ENJOY THE CHRISTMAS CHEER AND HOLIDAYS

Very nice Craig!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info and love your take on visitors to the Synagogue on high holidays.
It seems like they start the Christmas music in September nowadays. Absolutely agree that it's mostly an exercise in brainwashing to get people to shop early and often.
DeleteAmerican Jews celebrate Christmas because a lot of them own retail stores. Ka-Ching.
ReplyDeleteHow many drug dealers did Craig rat out on Christmas?
ReplyDeleteWhat about Towelheads?
ReplyDeleteLOL. Nice work Craig. Great take on the holidays that is REAL and not just this happy face stuff we get from TV.
ReplyDeleteIn the US Of A. The holidays is all about doing business. That's not good or bad, it's just life.
Isn't one big day BETTER?
ReplyDeleteA good question but in KC, the Christmas slog starts at thanksgiving and doesn't end until after Valentine's. It's almost as long as pumpkin spice season.
You're more than a pretty face Craig!
ReplyDeleteHappy Holidays Glaze.
ReplyDelete:)
Good stuff Craig.
ReplyDeleteI say we can have BOTH and then some.
thanks.
ReplyDeletethis is so much better than what one sees in european countries.
Yes Craig bitch some more about your poor childhood. What a loser ya fucking cry baby. Presents seven days in a row damn that has to be hard to take. Guess what asshole we all got a lot of clothes, ties and what nots at Christmas. Aunts and Grandma's all ploted to get you the things you really didn't want but at the same time glad you did. You think you had it rough just think about the Amish kids and the homemade clothes they probably get and more than likely they only get one gift period.
ReplyDeleteYou were born into the family and that's just how it is, hell anyone can point to someone else thinking they have it better than them as a kid. But to more or less piss on your family for who they were shows me what a truly disrespectful asshole you are. When you see Stan Christmas Day I hope he kicks you in the balls.
@12:49, you seem really bitter that you grew up poor. Sorry about that. I'm sure you learned some valuable lessons that the rich can never buy with all of their money.
ReplyDeleteAs for Craig's post. Really like it. Just the kind of light hearted stuff we need right now when the Council is trying to sell Kansas City to the highest bidder.

Oddly though, it makes me want to dance like that Russian dance in the Adams Family.
Are we really expected to give a shit why Jews do anything , ever ?
ReplyDeleteOnce again Glazer thinks the world has shit on him when all along he has been shitting on it.
ReplyDeleteWhen it comes to shitting on their family I don't know who is worse Glazer or Byron. Least one is a rat snitch and the other a rat fraud.
