Jews spoil a good Christmas party according to them

Sheesh, bah humbug, and other appropriate noises of disgust.

Half-Jewish here. My Jewish family loved coming to our house on Christmas Eve for Deli and Tree Trimming. And my Catholic father loved hosting them. He and my aunt (the one from the “wrong” religion, lol) had an annual tussle over whether to “toss” the tinsel onto the tree or hang it carefully strand-by-strand. My Jewish uncle owned a popular toy store (clearly, he liked Christians ), so his family arrived late, very worn out, but totally unwilling to miss this annual event.

So, ellebud, I know that your family will be in high demand for the holidays… but you can come to our Mixed Family Holiday any time. Do creamed onions go with Deli? :)
