Katie Halper, in a recent AlterNet article, believes she has the perfect solution.
She mentions that, while there is still a certain amount of controversy about who killed Jesus, there is no controversy about who gave him birth: Mary, the little Jewish girl, did the deed.
"Yes," says Halper, "she did so with the help of God, but it was Mary who schlepped from inn to inn before settling on a perfectly acceptable no-frills manger (a real find.) And it was her zaftig, child-bearing hips which really delivered the goods."
The perfect Xmas present for Gentiles to give their Jewish friends, therefore, is: A simple thank-you note!
