Mazel Tov, Christians!

National Review:

As a Jew, and a religious one at that, I want to wish my fellow Americans a Merry Christmas.

 

Not “Happy Holidays.” Merry Christmas.

 

I write, “my fellow Americans” because, as reported by the Pew Research poll released just last Wednesday, nine in ten Americans say they celebrate Christmas.

Apparently, many Americans have forgotten that Christmas is not only a Christian holy day, but also an American national holiday. Just as we wish one another a “Happy Thanksgiving” or a “Happy Fourth,” so, too, we should wish fellow Americans a “Merry Christmas.”

It doesn’t matter with which religion or ethnic group you identify; Christmas in America is as American as the proverbial apple pie. That is why some of the most famous and beloved Christmas songs were written by . . . guess who? Jews.

When I was in Afghanistan, I was the Command Sergeant Major of an organization that was 80% civilian. I walked into a meeting that was already in progress. It was about our Christmas celebration. I got there just in time to hear a women tell the group that since she was not Christian, she would be offended by religious carols and that she would make a list of carols that wouldnt offend her. My exact words were prepare to be offended. We sang all the Christmas carols in the book, put up a tree, heck we even scheduled time for the Commanding General to help with the decorations, which he did. I put out a list of what was going on where, if you didnt want to be offended you avoided those areas.

I am selling my cloak and buying a sword in the New Year. Maybe two.
