Christmas
Christmas, a Jewish holiday?
As you'll see in this section, Jewish people have various reactions to
Christmas, from caustic to curious. Most assume that-like Jesus-Christmas
is "a Gentile thing." Similarly, many Jewish believers in Jesus didn't grow
up celebrating Christmas and so while some rejoice that they can
now take part in a holiday that was forbidden for so long, others
feel uncomfortable with the cultural trappings of Christmas. However, we
all realize that the Christmas season brings to mind thoughts of peace and
thoughts of Jesus, the Prince of Peace. It is a time to celebrate the birth of
Jesus, the Jewish Messiah, and it's also an incredible time for introducing
others to the greatest Jew who ever lived.
