Christmas Faux Pas

If you want to know how to offend someone of the Jewish faith at a family gathering, just call me. Apparently I am phenomenal at it. I will share a few tip with you now.
A. Invite them to a CHRISTMAS Party.
B. Give them a Christmas Tree ornament as a gift.
C. Sing Christmas Carols while you wait for Santa.
D. Serve Pork. Not just one kind though. Serve ham, pulled pork and bacon.
E. Finally, give them a gag gift related to pigs.

Totally offensive isn't it? I did all of the above and probably more that I am not even aware of to Brian's "woman friend". In my defense however, I did not know that she was Jewish until the day of our party. Thanks Brian! It's no secret that I am not a fan of organized religion of any kind, but I would never intentionally show such blatant disregard for someones faith. Yes, I would have still sang the Christmas carols and had Santa come, but I certainly wouldn't have served Pork!!!!!
I also would have rethought my pig gift to her. So, my sincerest apology to Malia. I really felt bad when I realized all that I had done inadvertently. I think she knows it was unintentional and she seemed totally unaffected by it all. I won't know for sure though until our next family gathering. If you can look at this with an open mind however, it really is quite hilarious. By the way I did all of my cooking with Kosher salt. Kosher salt on pulled pork! How ironic!

Patti, I had no idea that you were anti-semitic. Wow! Next thing you know you will be having pig's feet for horderves(sp).
I still love you, though when Connor finds out about this he will be most upset. He does not tolerate racisism of any kind.
Next time Amalila comes you will have to rent Fiddler on the Roof as a show of good faith.

I know, I didn't know I was either. What about Yentl?
