JAMI'S CHANUKAH Q&A
1. Do you at attend Christmas parties?
Yes, without reservation.
2. Do you wish Christians "Merry
Christmas?
Absolutely. I'm happy to extend the
appropriate greeting during the holidays.
But if I'm unsure of a person's religion I will
say "Happy Holidays" to be inclusive and
respectful.
3. Are you offended by being wished a
"Merry Christmas?"
No. Generally, I see it as an automatic
response to the holiday season. However, if
people know I'm Jewish I appreciate hearing,
"Happy Chanukah" instead, if it's timely.
4. Do you have a Christmas tree in your
home?
No, but I love seeing them and am happy to
help friends decorate theirs, if asked. And I
enjoy helping co-workers decorate the office
Christmas tree each year.
