Because the stable was all decked out for the holiday with these things when Jesus was born.

The illuminated snowmen and Santas were a challenge back in those days because the candles would flare up and melt the plastic.

If your holiday was observed nationally, then you should have said that.

Did you know that in large part of the US, there are barely any Jews. My cousin in the Midwest have never ever met a Jew, and most of them do not know anything about them.

I hope you understand my point. It's about the majority, and public holidays.
Happy Holidays!

When I was a kid, I used to watch that movie with my mom. Seems like they aired it on television every other day right before Christmas. That sure brings back good memories, thanks.
