Christmas… Just a Regular Day for Some
One of the St. Louis Mothers Circle participants, Amy Zaidman, was recently featured on the radio on KWMU’s St. Louis on the Air
program. The topic of the show was “the dilemma faced during the month of December by those who do not celebrate Christmas.” Other radio guests included a Jew-by-Choice and a Muslim, and a variety of other folks called into the show. You can listen to a recording of the show here. Amy, who was raised Catholic, explains her decision to raise Jewish children and not to celebrate Christmas in her home, and she also speaks a bit about the different decisions other interfaith families make regarding the holidays. And as to whether Amy, her fellow radio show guests, and others who do not celebrate Christmas are really faced with a dilemma, well, I’d say that’s still up for debate.
