Do you celebrate Chirstmas too?

Yea I do. My birthday is on the 18th of Dec and with Hannukah and Xmas so close together, I get Hannukah, Bday, and Xmas gifts mushed together.

My wife isn't Jewish, so we celebrate both. We even compromised on the Christmas Lights, they are all Blue and White :)

basically something we call matzah meal, the basis for matza ball soup, is what keeps the latke together when fried :)

I would like to know who celebrates nothing this season! That would be more interesting.

I don't even really know what you do for Hanukkah; it's been years since I have read up on religions/race-celebrations. (third grade?)

I can't speak for Hanukkah, but contemporary European/American Christmas celebrations have very little basis in Christianity; it's essentially a secular holiday.

I still hate the holidays just because they were based in religion more-so before. :(

Or that...

Still, I don't think there is such a thing as "half jewish". That makes no sense.

Probably a race thing? I don't really understand jewish people or any of the terms along with them. I never thought of jews as a race, more of religion people. But, hitler killed jews because of race.. So--, they are a race, I guess.

You could be half-jewish, then.

I don't think Jews are a race, how could the Jews from Asia, Africa, Europe, etc all be somehow connected genetically, I doubt it.

It makes more sense to say you are a Hungarian Jew, or Austrian Jew, etc.

Just saying Jewish probably means your ignorant of your true ethnicity or simply deny it.
