December 2013, 2012, 2011etc, is the holiday season for Christmas, and perhaps Kwwanza. Kwwanza is not a religious holiday; however, Christmas, no matter what the logic expressed by Gentiles, has not become a secular holiday. The Christmas tree is a symbol of Christmas. Only after Thanksgiving does one see decorated evergreens in homes, shopping centers and even schools. Yake a look in windows in April, and I'll bet your money and mine that you won't see any tinsel hanging from a dead tree in someone's living room. Christmas is a "holy" holiday, and "Chanukah" is not. Gentile people feel more comfortable insisting that it is an important religious holiday for the Jews. The word :Chanukah" means rededication of the temple by the Jews that was regained from the Syrians' Greeks via military action led by Judas macabee.
More tomorrow.
