Inclusion In The 'Holiday Season" No More Year Round Alienation
When I was growing up a Jew in the 1950's , all year you were an American a part of society all year except from The day after Thanksgiving to New Years Day, you were alienated from society, In school I remember, Christmas songs being tought and sung and I asked when are we going to sing Hanukkah Songs , only to get a wise guy smirk from the teachers. The Christmas decoration were up on every main st .U.S.A. and every T.V. show had a Christmas special or theme not to mention every radio station playing Christmas songs , It was like We Jews were aliens In the country for 1 month a year, Today with the inclusion Hanukkah a in the 'Holiday Season'' makes me feel good that no Jew in America will be alienated once again, Even thou Hanukkah is not the most holiest of holidays it plays a paramount importance to Jews in todays society..end
