Excuse my ignorance/confusion, but what do I have in common with the Virgin Mary? Aside from being a woman, that is... oh, and I guess the Jewish thing.
Hahahah:-) There's also truth to the line: "Without Jews there would be no Christmas."lol
True dat.
Btw, I went shopping yesterday, and it was literally Christmas Christmas Christmas everywhere I went... wreaths on the door at Starbucks, CHRISTMAS cards (yes, they said the word!) and displays at the supermarket, and endless corny Christmas music in every store. So if there is a war on this holiday, the warriors aren't doing a very good job.
I was shopping in one store for over an hour, and the music started to irritate me after a while - I mean, we're talking the CORNIEST of Christmas tunes, like "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus." The clerk overheard me groaning at one song, and she laughed and said "Imagine how I feel; we've been listening to it since November 1st!" November 1st?? Wow! And she was a Black woman who was talking earlier about a Christmas party, so it's pretty likely she celebrates it. Anyway, just thought I'd share the good news that Christmas is still alive and well... even here in the very non-Christian Bay Area, LOL.
