Give em he-ll Don.
Bud Dwyer's Greatest Hits?
I am actually quite well informed about Hanukkah, for a Finn. My wife's sister married an USA born jew some 30+ years ago. The father of Aaron is a holocaust survivor without other survived family members. I've been at their eldest son's Bar Mitzwah in 2003 in San Fransisco. The Z family is celebrating both Hanukkah and Christmas like many of their friends, double fun but they don't use word Chrismukkah.
Happy Hanukkah!

I've not seen any of this before, clicked the home page and read the most recent comic, it's got nothing to do with this site...

Or with the holidays.
You get that it's exactly about what this site is about?Or with the holidays.
This is my current favourite comic, and it is seasonal.
Explanation.
Aspects of false memory are also on topic for this site.
I'm good for Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah. Chrismukkah? No, sorry, I'll use the proper words and homage for both. I know it's meant to be cute and humorous. But in a time when both beliefs are subject to persecution and violence around the world, I'll take the opportunity to recognize the holidays without wordplay.
May this holiday season be a good and peaceful one for all faiths.

I understand your feeling and tend to agree with them, but yes it is meant to be a humorus way to be at least partially politically correct. When I saw that card on the American Greetings website I thought it would make for lite and happy greeting for almost all.
Oh, I'm sure you had nothing but good intent. The problem with political correctness and corporate market think, particularly in connection to religion, is that it can be counted on for a bad outcome. Hence the brain trust decisions to drop any use of "Christmas" or "Hanukkah" by too many businesses in favor of generic politically correct neutered speech to avoid the horrible possibility that any individual should be offended.
When we allow Christianity, Judaism, or the name of any religion or their holidays to be treated like a dirty word to be avoided, I find that to be an offensive act. Ok rant, rant, rant, I'm done! LOL truly, have a Merry Christmas and a Happy Hanukkah!

Absolutely, but you wouldn't believe the bee's nest of nasty remarks a couple of simple well intended comments by me stirred up around here recently. Just nuts really.
I celebrate all the holidays here at Neverland East...
Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Firdays, Saturdays, and Sundays.
