I removed the stub tag because I see nothing that could be added to this article. -mboverload — Preceding undated comment added 23:53, 7 September 2004 (UTC)

I have edited the text that read, "Bad Jews celebrated Christmas as a secular "festival. . ." in the third paragraph to read, "Some Jews. . ." While I realize that the term "bad Jews" may be merely a term of affectionately-derisive endearment among Jews of faith, at best--or a pious put-down, at worst--it is nonetheless entirely inappropriate to include such a term in Wikipedia. This is particularly true if this term is not linked to an explanatory article. I feel its appearance here is akin to an article concerning African-Americans or African traditions (say, Kwanzaa) utilizing the n-word. I welcome any comments or clarifications from the original author(s). What about chriskwanzannukah? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.14.205.139 (talk) 15:12, 1 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

Jewmas redirects here, but is not explained in the article. -- Beland 01:24, 30 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

Hanukwanzmas

edit

What happened? I made an article called Hanukwanzmas. It seems to be forwarded to Chrismakkuh?? Chrismakkuh is Christmas and Hanukkah. Now Hanukwanzmas is Christmas, Hanukkah, and Kwanzaa all together. In my neighborhood, we actually celebrate such a thing. Any Wiki mods/admins please reborn my article :(. -KT- KT529 (talk) 01:28, 5 December 2007 (UTC)Reply

The comment that Caesura made when redirecting that article here was, "There are already much better articles on this sort of thing that have less of WP:MADEUP feel to them. Another redirect candidate would be Chrismahanukwanzakah." You should address that before restoring a separate article. -David Schaich Talk/Cont 02:35, 5 December 2007 (UTC)Reply

History Channel

The History Channel discusses Chrismukkah in detail on their special Surviving the Holidays with Lewis Black (2009). More info from the show could probably be used for the article. Kylelovesyou (talk) 02:41, 24 November 2009 (UTC)Reply

Bad redirect

edit

I feel that "Jewmas" redirecting here is inappropriate. The term "Jewmas", generally considered to be at least mildly offensive, usually refers to the custom of Jews gathering together on Christmas to enjoy something that has nothing to do with the celebration of Christmas, such as going to the movies, or eating at a Chinese restaurant. "Chrismakkuh" is the attempt to combine aspects of both holidays. Joefromrandb (talk) 21:02, 22 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

Just to clarify, my opposition to "Jewmas" is the fact that it is inaccurate, rather than its offensiveness. Joefromrandb (talk) 21:04, 22 December 2010 (UTC)Reply
