It's Over! Yay!

Christmas is over for another year. Yay!  It is tough to be a Jew at Christmastime.

Here are 17 Questions (credit: Jaimie Etkin) Jews are tired of being asked about Christmas and here are my answers.

1. "But, like, you still celebrate Christmas, right?"
         No

2. "But, wasn't Jesus Jewish?"
        He was indeed

3. "Are you going to celebrate it anyway because it's a National Holiday?"
         No

5. “Did you ever have a tree?”
         No
 
7. “Did you tell other kids he wasn’t real when you were younger?”
         No
 
9. “You don’t even get presents?”
         No
 
10. “Do you wish you celebrated Christmas?”
         No
 
11. “Don’t you feel left out?”
         Yes
 
12. “If you’re Jewish, why are you so into ‘All I Want For Christmas Is You’ and Home Alone?”
         I'm not but I do love "It's A Wonderful Life"
 
14. “Do you go to the movies and eat Chinese food?”
         Always an option
 
15. “Isn’t Hanukkah not actually important?”
         It is but not in the same way most people feel about Christmas
 
16. “Are you excited for the first night of Hanukkah?”
I will use Jaimie Etkin's answer: No, because that was like, a month ago because it actually has nothing to do with Christmas and just got inflated thanks to Christmas. It’s actually based on the Hebrew calendar begins at the 25th day of Kislev.
 
17. “You can work on Christmas Eve, right?”
         Happy to!
