Some Jews do celebrate a secular version of Christmas, cause trees, carols and Santa are fun.
Tara: That was funny if you've studied Taglarin mystic rites and... are a total dork... Riley: Then how come Xander didn't laugh?

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Huh. So Carter is telling a tale set in this timeline that he didn't actually experience.

All is well that ends in pizza.
At the end I got the impression that he was telling the tale of the current year, but that can't be right.
Or is this some future year with him telling the current year. or is it just a good story for the kids.
I may have to rewatch.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I'm OK with it either way. There are enough timey-wimey handwavey timeline stuff going on in the Eureka- verse that it may be enough to sit back and enjoy the show.

None of the Jewish people I grew up with ever did that sort of stuff, so it's new to me. I hung out with them in December assemblies to escape Christmas.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
My Jewish sister-in-Law has a tree, just because she like the ornaments. And The DH's whole family likes carols--although the less overtly Christ-y ones.
