i went to visit my great grandmother last year on her death bed, and everyone in my family is jewish. and one of the days i was sitting in her room while she slept watching tv (only tv in the house) at some point she wakes up and asks me if i have a special girl. i say yes, the next question was is she jewish. i didnt want to lie to my grandma so tried to wheedle my way going with the half excuse of she wasnt religious. when she pressed the point i admitted she was catholic and my great grandma on her deathbed slapped me and rolled over and went back to sleep.before she died she forgave me for dating a nonjew.sorry had to through in my little funny story about jewish women.

im told im really really random in real life so i have to think before i post before random ass stories like that come out. 80% of the time they are really stupid and i realize before i hit post but about 20% come out of which 10% are relevant and funny and the rest are just random like this one.

so what do you get what with being a jew that doesnt realyl belive in a god?do you still get the 8 crazy nights? or do you jsut drive around lighting bushes on fire for fun?all bullshit aside Im actually curious how someone like you (based up on the discussions we have had away from this site) celebrate the holidays?Christmas is easy for an atheist, we hang up lights and drink and have santa clause then pack up all the shit on te 26th and forget about it for a year, but what happens to the jewish holiday season when the jew doesnt buy off on the god thing?

now my family is jewish. i mean JEWISH. to celebrate the holidays we just install a parking meter on the roof.sorry i love that joke. my family is pretty unjewish to the brink of atheism but we go through the show of lighting up candles and the bare minimum of prayers then give presents. after that its back away for a year.

Jews have their fun little candles on the big candle holder thingy, while the Catholics have their candles for the different days of Christmas... and Easter... and days of the week...

I have to celebrate them because Ari is really religious, he's still an orthodox jew, and practicing at that. When I was on my own, I didn't do a damn thing. The way jewish holidays are (still have meaning they meant to), you kinda have to be religious to participate. Actually, I get lots of christmas presents and drink lots of egg nog around the cold season. Around Easter, I eat lots of peeps and bite the heads off of chocolate bunnies, I'd make a better atheist christian then an atheist jew :P
