Christmas celebrated the birth of Jewish Boy named Jesus. How interesting the so many nations are against Israel and celebrate his birth. Jesus represents the life of Israel. The Romans crucified him. The Phairasee turned against him. Same struggle - Israel then & now.

...not his name, not the path to salvation, not the liturgy, not the culture, nothing. Not the Easter Bunny nor the Santa Claus, nor the Christmas tree, nor the Easter egg, nor the Michaelmas goose, nor the hot cross buns, not the Shrove pancakes, nor the inquisition nor the burn...Nothing

He was born of Mary & Joseph who are from the tribe of Judah. Your comments are based on secular viewe. You can't erase what is written in the Torah. You may not like the christian bible - but they know and call him a Jew. Whether some Jews may or may not like it. Jesus in Hebrew means Mesiah. Santa Claus & the Ester Bunny it's secular. Israel know him to be Jewish.
