On a side note: My neighborhood Starbucks put up the ol’ Christmas decorations a few days back—and Jews are already complaining about the lack of Chanukah displays. As a kid, I was all with the movement. Why weren’t we Jews being acknowledged? Why was the season dominated solely by Jesus and 50% off sales? Why? Why? Why? Now, I see things quite differently.
