JERUSALEM — Christmas season in the holy city of Jerusalem is very low-key, which might surprise many. You have to look hard for a Christmas tree here.
The Jerusalem shopping malls have no Christmas sales; the stores are not decked in holly; the materialistic aspects of the holiday season are mostly absent. There is no big Claus culture; The fa-la-la is muted.
Christians make up less than 2 percent of the population of Jerusalem, where the Bible says Jesus was crucified and resurrected. Christmas is just another day in Israel, so everyone trundles off to work and school. You usually can go to the post office on Christmas morning and pay your parking tickets, no problem. Except this year, Dec. 25 falls on a Friday, so everyone is off to honor the Jewish Sabbath.

What kind of bait are you using? Cacahoe minnow or shrimp?

Are you suggesting we should force a foreign population where 98% of them aren't Christian to celebrate a Christian holiday?
Not sure at the message here.

Santa Claus supports Hezbollah.

This is one fact of Christianity I have always found puzzling that the land origin of the religion is not even close to a majority of what religion those people take to.

You know Christmas trees are a European tradition, right?

Why would this surprise me?

It's not a matter of the people there deciding to be a certain religion. It's that people of certain religions "take to" living there.
Demographics of Jerusalem - Pretty interesting
