Not to mention that Chanukkah is a very minor holiday just about every where else in the world, but here in the US, it has attained the status of "Jewish Christmas" and gets a lot of attention.
Some friends of mine, who are religious Jews, put all their Chanukkah presents (many of them from their parents to their kids) under the ficus tree, mostly because it's behind a baby fence (they have a 16 month old who would probably love to play in the soil), and it was funny hearing them say, "Put the presents under the tree."
And if Jesus was Jewish, do they follow the rules of kashrut?
