My Pandora and Spotify are all tuned into Christmas radios from Thanksgiving until after. Something about that music makes work so much better.

I can't begin to describe how awesome I think this thread is.  I thought I was one of few Jews who loves Christmas. The lights, the music, the trees, the decorations, the sales.  Its all just amazing.

You cant say this isnt awesome...



I will hopefully be seeing this amazing lights show Thanksgiving weekend! So excited!

I'd venture to guess most people 'celebrating' are just doing so in spirit of the birth of Jesus. Not for any of the reasons based on where Christmas comes from.

Although, it seems, it has nothing at all to do with his birth.

I look forward to the sales.

I also like how it seems to soften the NY crowds.  People are more generous and cheerful.

I love walking through the upper city streets where everything is all lit up and the street trees are covered with lights. It was a warm feeling. On the other hand I was just in Montreal walking through this real religious neighborhood and boy did I feel the antisemitism!!! So I guess it has its ups and downs.
