no I was trying to say that the christains didn't need to make a holiday on the same date as some of their gods birthday just so they didn't have to give up a holiday.

She gets her Chanukah gifts, then she gets some Christmas gifts, then I give her gifts for Yule. Spoiled rotten! We even have what we refer to as "the Chanukah bush" on the screened in porch. My sister made a topper that looks like a Rabbi all dressed in blue, silver, and white. My niece says it's Moses. lol

wow thats a cool holiday.lol. lots of celebrations.^.^
