And, for those of you who, each Christmas love a variety of songs (not all certainly), including White Christmas, you can thank the Jews that wrote them. I hear the frustration in your narrative. It is a sad state of affairs when people want to marginalize anyone and come up with whatever reasons they deem real, just to hate another. It is scary times. I think that I never before had to go to a synagogue and have my purse searched or have to have some of my temple dues money support an armed guard at the door. Having the Ann Arbor police at our high holiday services is necessary. Our rabbi and cantor recently had theirs and their families' lives threatened and they've had to evacuate shul in December due to a bomb scare. This is not the America I've known in the past. I had Chanukah decorations up at my house but in the back of my mind I now think of who might pass by and possibly harm my property. I never had to do that in the past. It was never remotely an issue. Thank you for sharing your voice to this issue.
