[ When I worked at a local hospital, Jews were always happy to work on Christmas so that the Christians could have the day off. ]

Lets see... Xmas is about Jesus... Jesus was/is a Jew..
Jews killed Jesus.. deny virgin birth.. deny resurrection..
Actually I'm not sure about all these things myself..

Course you do have religious Jews, and cultural Jews..
even christian Jews, and atheist Jews too.. depends what you call a Jew I guess.. For that matter what a christian is, is quite a question itself..
as is, What is Christimas to be honest..

You do seem a little confused. Yes, Jesus was a Jew. But "the" Jews did not kill Jesus. Some Romans killed Jesus at the behest of the local Jewish leaders, some 1000+ years ago, in Judea. It's hardly something any Jewish person living today had anything to do with, just like no white person living today had anything to do with owning a slave or partaking in breaking treaties with Indians. Some Jews have embraced Jesus, others are still waiting for the savior. That is their personal business. Christmas has become more secularized, of course, but I think true Christians know the import of the birth of the Christ. Come to think of it, it's become so secularized, you wonder what the pc left wing is so afraid of. But maybe you should get to know some jews in your community, I can assure you they don't have horns! Be at peace.
