As a youngster this was one of the loneliest times of the year for while other children had Santa Claus visit their house he seemed to skip ours every year and I wasn’t that bad. The truth is I knew much earlier then my Christian friends that Santa Claus didn’t exist or wasn’t a big fan of the Jews. Seriously though I love Christmas and the Christians that celebrate this wonderful holiday (don’t worry Rabbi I didn’t convert) for it brings such cheer, love and generosity to so many and as you get older you realize that the roller coaster maybe a bit too much for you but you still can live the experience as you watch love one’s enjoy the ride. So I want to wish all my Christian friends a very merry X-Mas with health, happiness, peace, love and some great Christmas Decorations that even us Jews can enjoy as well. A new Christmas movie wouldn’t hurt as well with my Eggnog first and Chinese Food later.
