When people say "Happy Holidays" to you, they are really saying "Merry Christmas."

When people say "Happy Holidays" to you, they are really saying "Merry Christmas." Lets keep it real people. Being that I am a Jew both ethnically and culturally, there are many things that I don't get about the Christmas Season. For some reason people feel compelled to be politically correct and use the term "holidays" to make sure that every group feels included when the truth is, we aren't. Gentiles, sorry to break it to you but Channukah, however you spell it, has been over for weeks at this point. It also is to jews equal to president's day for Americans (some may celebrate it, but if you changed the date it fell on, no one would notice). It's not in the least a major Jew day, nor is it equal to Christmas. I do though have a spot for Christmas in my yidishy heart, don't get me wrong. It's a great time to enjoy booze, Chinese food and of course the movies.

Another thing I don't get about Christmas is the Nog. I had it for the first time about a year ago. Who thought of combining alcohol, eggs, sugar, cream and nutmeg? While it isn't the worst drink ever, you may as well ask someone to stick their finger down your throat. I do though like any excuse to drink and eat. For this reason I enjoy the holiday season. I do though being a doggy bag with me to most xmas parties cause well I'm Jewish... more commentary to come soon....
