Celebrating Christmas with Jewish neighbors

December 23, 2022

I was disgusted and angry when I read Allan and Leslie Slan’s letter in the Dec. 20 edition of the Cape Gazette. To think that there are low-life degenerates still out there who would do such a thing to people just because of their beliefs.

My wife and I spend Christmas alone because we insist that our children and their children spend Christmas at home. Our next-door neighbors noticed this and invited us to spend Christmas Day with them. They also invited several other neighbors to join them for Christmas.

This year it will be a double celebration. You see, Christmas falls on the seventh day of Hanukkah. 

That’s right, the kind people who open their home to the poor lonely Christians, who would otherwise be all alone on Christmas Day, are Jewish.
