How the Jew stole Christmas

Many Jewish kids I heard from were permitted to watch the Grinch every year, yet somehow nobody (including my parents) is able to explain why this is so. Nearly everyone who wrote to me explained that the Boris Karloff version of the Grinch was "a classic."

What surfaces is a universal (and discomfiting) sense that the Grinch is a fundamentally Jewish show because the Grinch himself is a fundamentally Jewish character. I got one e-mail that concluded, "Who is more of a Grinch than a grumpy old Jew?" And a Jew with a heart problem no less?

But why do Jewish parents want to be pushing this peculiarly self-loathing vision of the bitter old Jewish man on their kids? Do we drag our kids to see The Merchant of Venice? If anything, the Grinch-as-old-Jew notion... is the ultimate fantasy for a Jewish kid with a case of Santa/tree/carols envy―Christmas, canceled."

what's the point of you making hatred. is that what jesus instructed you to?

europeans (i.e. people of european origin) have been making the same mistake for centuries. the first time europeans criticised their own "perversion" was when paulus vladimir, or Pawel Wlodokowic, the recotor of the university of krakow, poland, represented poland to defend pagan lithuania at the council of constance in 1414. the then pope agreed with him. but europeans soon forgot it and have been making the same mistake again and again and again and again.
