Opinion | Amy Klein: 'Christmas beats Hanukkah. Jewish parents like me need to concede defeat.' - NBCNewsTHINK
See? I'm doing it again. Explaining all of our Jewish holidays by the non-Jewish ones.
There really is no comparison. Christmas is “huuuuge.” It’s got a federal holiday! Its own shrubbery! Its own icon! An Elf on the Shelf! Both holidays have been commercialized up the wazoo, but I don’t want to have to lie anymore and say Hanukkah is … bigger … better.Maybe this line of thought simply reflects my long and winding journey to find my place as a Jew in America.
While living in Israel alleviated some of my religious insecurity, in my 30s, I moved as far as I could think from my roots. I landed in Venice Beach, California, where there was no snow, no winter wonderland and no feelings of competition over Christmas. I wanted nothing to do with religion or any holiday. I thought I was done with it all.
