Jews don't celebrate the birth of Christ largely because they believe that Jesus wasn't the messiah. There are, however, Jews that do believe that Jesus was the messiah, and they are appropriately called Messianic Jews.It's mostly because Jesus was mostly geared towards non-Jews by those such as Constantine and Paul and such.

However, since my parents are jewish then I am technically a Jew, even though I have never been to synagogue and my Bar Mitzvah is more aptly described as a four hour basketball game followed by eating chinese food that isn't kosher. Channukah is not a high holiday, it's just so that Jews don't convert to christianity because they want toys. Ironically, Christmas isn't of any more significance to Christianity, as it isn't on the day that Jesus was born and santa has nothing to do with christianity. In the end run, years and years of getting less sh*t for channukah than christians do for christmas eventually pays off when you're given thousands of dollars worth of sh*t for your bar mitzvah (some families spend as much as 50 grand for their kid's bar mitzvah).

I think most Christians don't even know that.

I'm not trying to brag or anything, just trying to make my point, dreidels are not presents, they're games you play during Hanukkah. Now I suggest you think before saying sh*t like that because you have no f*cking clue what you're talking about. So be good or else Santa wont give you any christian sh*t like footballs and missile toes. We on the other hand, appreciate what we get.(To those who don't hate) Merry Christmas.No name calling - CB4
