A Holiday Greetings Flowchart

How do I handle holiday greetings as a Jew? Here’s the order of operations:

  • If you say “happy holidays” to me and I don’t know you or what you celebrate, then I say “happy holidays” to you and return.
  • If I know you’re Jewish, I say “happy Chanukah.”
  • If you wish me “Merry Christmas” and you don’t know I’m Jewish, then I say “happy holidays.”
  • If you wish me “Merry Christmas” and you do know I’m Jewish, or if you say “merry Christmas” in any way that suggests that doing so is your way of striking back against PC liberal elites, then I say “happy Chanukah.”
  • Finally, if I know you celebrate Christmas but you nonetheless wish me “happy Chanukah” because you know that’s what I celebrate, then I will wish you a “merry Christmas” in return as that’s what you celebrate.

Feel free to use this in your own interactions. 

And from me to you: happy holidays to all, happy Chanukah for those for whom it applies, and merry Christmas to those who’ve earned it!

The next person who tries to correct me when I say “Happy Holidays” is going to be told Happy Hanukkah instead. Very tired of hearing, “No, it’s MERRY CHRISTMAS.” I’m pretty sure Judaism was around a lot longer than your Buckstar’s boycotting butt, Karen.

My boss once shared a great story about that. This happened when he was in a layover in North Carolina back when the “War on Christmas” bullshit was first becoming prominent. He had gone to get a pack of cigarettes, and after he paid for it:

“Merry Christmas.” “Happy holidays.” “No. I said Merry Christmas.” “Do you know what Hanukkah is about?” “No, what?” “Some people tried to make us worship their ways, so we rose up and killed them. Happy Hanukkah.

I celebrate Christmas, but generally avoid holiday themed greetings when working as a cashier unless the customer mentions their holiday specifically. 

The other day, two older ladies were buying briskets and told me they were for their Hanukkah celebration that night, so I responded something like “Well Happy Hanukkah! It’s the third night, right?” 

I shit you not these two old ladies were so tickled that someone at a store wished them a happy Hanukkah. One of them literally told me I was “the first one to do that”. 

To those who think there’s a war on Christmas, please get the fuck over yourself and remember that not everyone experiences the world the way you do.

Anonymous asked:

Electric Hanukkah menorahs for those places you can't have a candle menorah (dormitories, certain apartments, military barracks, etc.). Opinions, rules for reciting blessings, anything else regarding them that I should know?

@anon, as always jumblr (or almost all of it) is going to recommend that you ask your rabbi. However, my guess would be:

  • Reform - yes (I fact checked myself and I was sort of correct on what they’d say)
  • Reconstructionist - probably some rabbis would okay this, but maybe not all?
  • Conservative - a minority of rabbis might okay this in some circumstances but I doubt it
  • Orthodox (non-Chabad) - probably not, but the diversity within Orthodoxy often surprises me in all sorts of ways
  • Chabad - @wenevergotusedtoegypt reached this before I could guess or find Chabad’s answer on their website (kudos to Chabad for making their teshuvot easy to find!)
  • Sefardic - I have no clue, but probably somewhere in the realm of Conservative/Orthodox on this one

If anyone knows about denominational splits, let me know.

P.S. If there’s a Conservative Jew out there who wants to nag CJLS to write a responsa on this, that would be cool. I checked and they don’t have one.
