Because it really couldn't wait, we bring you this Extra Special CHRISTmas edition of our occasional visit to the comments queue. It seems that we were actually quite incorrect to have cast aspersions upon that Springfield, Massachusetts, city councilor who said, at the city's Hanukkah menorah lighting "Jesus is the reason for the season." Would-be commenter "Petermillman1," whose IP address appears to place him in the Bay State, just wants to set us straight on this matter:
The councilor is absolutely correct;Jesus is the only Reason for the season.There is no such thing as a mythological "holiday season." There is only the Advent and Christmas season. Hanukkah is not a holiday and you can't find it in the Jewish version of the Old Testament. If the Jews want to win friends and influence people, then they should cease trying to step on the Christian Christmas. As a Greek Orthodox Christian , I find Hanukkah to be very offfensive. If the Jews want to make a big deal about a Jewish holiday, then they can emphasize Rosh Hashana, Yom Kippur or even Purim, but stay away from Christmas.
Knock it off with all your Christmas-stealing, Jews! Petermillman1 is on to your little scheme. And please, Petermillman1, could you contact us immediately? We'd like you to write a regular holiday column for us. We really want to know your thoughts on Kwanzaa and the blacks.
Happy Jewmas, Jews, and Merry Molotov ! STOP STEPPING ON CHRISTIAN CHRISTMAS!

Jews don&#039;t need no revised editions -- they can disagree eight ways even if there&#039;s only one text.
