I'm a Jew on Christmas

batgirl · 12-26-2010, 12:41 AM

So I dunno how much response this will get but whatever. With all the talk of Christmas, I was wondering what those of us who don't celebrate it did with our weekends. I for one, accumulated a nice pay check by working both Christmas eve and Christmas day in the evening (in fact I'm still working right now). I was a little upset because nothing was open today and I couldn't grab a few essentials for the coming snow blizzard of death, but hey, who am I to complain about the all mighty holiday?

So what did all of you non-Christmas people do? And of course to those who do not celebrate, happy Channukah, happy Kwanzaa and Happy Festivus.

What are you the rest of the year?

Too busy saving lives to worry about whether she needs to see a rabbi or a priest.

Sorry you had such a hassle shopping and stuff. Hopefully you can find a chance to slack off twice as hard in the near future to compensate.

But what about their souls?

I thought most New Yorkers sold their souls to pay for rent money and Yankees tickets, but I could be wrong.

Satan can't afford New York rent in this economy.

Wait, just because your faith doesn't fit with the holiday doesn't mean you shouldn't take the opportunity to take the day off.

It's actually my regular day to work and since everyone else in my position celebrates, I'd rather work and give them a chance to be with their families. When I celebrate the Jewish holidays, I know they take my shifts so I do the same for them.

Or in her case, to rake in some very nice extra cash

OY!

I do know a few people who don't celebrate Christmas, although, to be fair, i wouldn't compare them to most organized groups... they are basically emos, pseudo-goths and other sorts of people who like to stay in corners and wear black mostly cause everyone else is doing the opposite of that but society will have to "deal with that"...

My family is not also all that Religiously oriented, so, Christmas for us is just a big party with all your family where we trade gifts, eat good food and stay together for a while.

Also a nice time of the year to do good deeds "just cause". We had a major blackout here on the 24th, up to 10pm! But when the Guys form the Eletrical company came by to fix it, we gave them a few mini-bottles of Soda and some French Toast and turkey just cause it was the holidays and they were working to give us light y'know...
