Chanukah is NOT a holiday-of-giving-gifts.
It is a holiday in the sense that it is a religious celebration of a time in our history when we almost died, but didn't.
As is oft mentioned: "They tried to kill us, we survived, let's eat." Not "let's give each other gifts".
The secularization of Christmas hasn't hit us yet, and I don't anticipate it ever will.
Of course, Jews are cheap, right?  We'll buy things whenever they are on sale... |
Your holiday? Jon is also Jewish; it's just as much his holiday as it is yours.
