Christmas was the traditional time for pogroms in Poland/Russia. I heard the stories from my grandparents. The approach of Christmas was terrifying.

I think that’s why I’ve never been able to adopt an ecumenical attitude towards the holiday. My kids, who know little or nothing about this history are different and embrace it as a “secular” winter celebration.
