hello to my fellow Christians!

this is your seasonally-appropriate reminder, as we approach the beginning of Hanukkah, that

A) Hanukkah is not "Jewish Christmas"
B) jokes about how hard it is to spell aren't funny
C) putting Jewish people like RBG on Christmas swag is not okay
D) a lot of the imagery you think of as being generic nondenominational winter stuff is really just Christmas without the word (snowmen, etc), so if you're going to send cards, send Hanukkah cards! they're so easy to find!

E) “Chag Sameach!” is the greeting you're looking for
This would be a particularly good year to reach out to your Jewish friends in ways that are intentionally respectful of their faith and traditions! The Trump administration has led to an overwhelming spike in antisemitic hate speech and it gets very rough on here sometimes.
They also want me to tell you to stop saying "Judeo-Christian"

this is not a thing

if you mean Jewish, say Jewish. if you mean Christian (you most likely mean Christian), say Christian. if you mean the Abrahamic religions - which also includes Islam - then say that instead.
