I am just curious since I have a cousin getting married soon...Do you think if you have one parent that is Jewish and another that is Catholic that you should celebrate BOTH Hanukkah and Christmas?

Ummm....no. Christianity and other religions are based on supposed events as well as traditions. Kwanzaa was just made up on a whim by some half baked militant.

Well that's how many people feel about religions in general. That they are created by nutcases.

It might have to do with perspective. The Seattle Metro area (2000 census) had 37,200 Jews; all of Oklahoma in the same period reported 5,056.

Christmas is Christian holiday ~ not a Jewish one. No menorah's.
Christmas is on Dec 25 (in the US). It isn't the entire month of December. By your logic, there shouldn't be a tree up, until argueably, Dec 24, and it should come down after Dec 26.

You aren't serious right?

Here in NY, you have a lot of children who are of mixed religion. They celebrate both, and enjoy both immensely. Who would deprive a kid of more presents?
