Maybe Hanukah was a bad choice of holiday but the intention is right. The reality is that the calendar is FILLED with holidays that not everyone celebrates, or, as it appears, agrees with and/or understands. I could be ticked that the country doesn't shut down on the holidays I celebrate or recognize but instead I'll sit back and enjoy the paid days off I get because other people deem it a worthy day to recognize.
I'd be more than happy to wait a day to get bills in the mail or go to the bank to pay them.

this is splitting hairs. i was pretty much trying to say that Jewish owned business would not close for Hannukah. Places with large Jewish populations, etc. will close for the major Jewish holidays, but Hannukah is not one of them.
and opi...it is quite offensive...but as the AOPi girl said, I'm too new to get offended on here.
