Is Christmas a Christian (or Catholic) Holiday?
I think it has more to do with the country you are in and the dominant religion of that land. I wouldn't expect Christmas to be celebrated in Israel of Saudi Arabia and I wouldn't read anything more into it than that.Funny you should ask.
Just last week my Jewish doctor told me her first recollections of Jewish persecution was when she was a kid at the mall and everyone was celebrating Christmas.
She asked her dad why everyone did not celebrate Hanukkah.
Yep, Jewish discrimination.
So this made clear to me Christmas was Christian and nothing more.
Funny thing is, I have both Jewish and Muslim friends who celebrate Christmas.
Maybe it's just one of those things. Those inclined to feel persecuted will feel discrimination and those inclined to just enjoy a fun holiday will do just that, enjoy a fun holiday.
But would you feel discriminated against if it were not celebrated in Isreal or Saudi Arabia?I think it has more to do with the country you are in and the dominant religion of that land. I wouldn't expect Christmas to be celebrated in Israel of Saudi Arabia and I wouldn't read anything more into it than that.
No, why would I? I wouldn't expect it to be. Inherent in that statement is that logically it wouldn't make sense for them to celebrate a Christian holiday in a Jewish or Islamic nation. It's nothing personal.But would you feel discriminated against if it were not celebrated in Isreal or Saudi Arabia?
But my doctor felt deep discrimination as a little child.No, why would I? I wouldn't expect it to be. Inherent in that statement is that logically it wouldn't make sense for them to celebrate a Christian holiday in a Jewish or Islamic nation. It's nothing personal.
That's her mistake to make. But that seems as illogical as saying nothing she sees is anti Jewish. Reality is a little more complicated than that. The real answer lies between these two extremes and should be examined objectively on a case by case basis.But my doctor felt deep discrimination as a little child.
Now everything she sees is anti Jewish.
