isn't that nice???
It aint christmas without ham. Port Headland Hospital has banned ham from their christmas menu and is serving only halal food.
HOSPITAL UNHAMMED
The deporking of Australia continues:
A WA hospital has scrubbed baked ham from its Christmas menu, fearing Muslim patients could be offended.
It has also overhauled its entire menu so that all meals are now halal – containing only meat and other food prepared according to Muslim customs.
It makes sense economically as most of the patients there are muslim but NO HAM AT CHRISTMAS??
Yeesh! At least have a small token piece for the non Muslim population!

Oh well. Typical bluelight moderator anti-semitic sentiment.
This is what we had to put up nder the regime of onetwothreefour and slm that used to close threads for these purposes and now yourself, who i assume has been set up as a puppet figure in authority by someone. Take note. A strongly worded letter of complaint is winging its way to the jewish news.

Yes well i'm sure such an avid anti-semite with your talk of zionist conspiracies as yourself would also be "known" to him. He knows of your work.

this is eloise, because i cbf finding my dumb new password and logging in properly.
anyway, i felt i had to add some disturbing images i have painstakingly sourced from a female bluelighter's dark past.
now i'm not saying anything...
and surely this one was all just a misunderstanding...
it's just.. someone in this shot looks so familiar
ozbreaker, if i were you, i'd lock up your menoirahs extra tight tonight.

Fistly, I would like to express my absolute disgust at the merging of the discussions of two holidays which are truly worlds apart.
Every December, our society is consumed with the number one commercial extravaganza - the Christmas season.
Many well-meaning people assume that since Jews do not celebrate Christmas, they must feel deprived. Others simply do not know anything about Judaism, Jewish values or Jewish holidays and figure that Jews need something big to go with Christmas.
So, inevitably, Chanukah is brought into the picture, since it happens at about the same time of the year. Big mistake. Chanukah is not a Jewish version of Christmas. It is not the Jewish response to Christmas; it has nothing whatsoever to do with Christmas.
Christmas is one of the two most important Christian holidays. It is when Christians believe that the son of God, the Messiah, was born. It is a celebratory holiday of great religious significance. Gift-giving became a part of the tradition from the same sources that led us to give gifts on birthdays.
Chanukah, on the other hand, is not a really big holiday. It commemorates a military victory over oppressors a few hundred years before the common era (B.C.E.).
It is not our most important holiday, or even on the list of our top five. (The top five would be Rosh Hashana, Yom Kippur, Passover, Shavuot and Sukkot.)
Chanukah is not a Jewish Christmas. Christians celebrate the birth of their God - we celebrate the military victory over the Greeks, a winning battle in a lost war. The holidays are not even in the same ballpark. To equate them misleads people into thinking there is more significance to Chanukah.
It's inauthentic to put the two holidays into some kind of juxtaposition, which is what inevitably happens in "holiday" programs, which secularize a Christian holiday and distort a Jewish one.
My faith has been raped- Never before have the insensitivities of my fellow net geeks shown through so strongly. Hopefully after reading this, you will realise the true significance of not only our holiday, but our devotion to hashem.

happy festival
Now that I've gotten that off my chest, I have a lighter piece to share. Do enjoy, and enrich your spirits with the fresh understanding of the true meaning of Chanukah.
Note: The following seemingly shabby little photoshop job took me ages, because I only had paint and some skanky other program to use on this laptop, so multiply your enthusiasm by ten before bestowing upon me my much deserved praise.
Get ready for it.

the points you make are very interesting, and are duly noted
however, perhaps the fact that you are used to communicating via yiddish is impairing you from full comprehension of the thread title
"this time of the year" indicates that no comparison except occurrence in the calender year is being made between the two holidays.
thanks, next
and i believe i was framed!!!!!
