Yeah, that is true, but still... I'm sceptical as to the level of commercialism Jewish holidays receive in comparison to those of Christians. How many non-Christians still look forward to Christmas, even if they are under the misapprehension that it's about the birth-day of Santa Clause? Think about the number of Christmas movies and t.v. specials, versus the number of times Hannukah is even mentioned on television.

However, I do admit I should have been more specific about that - I wasn't still talking about America, but had shifted back to Australia. After all, I've never been to America, so how would I know?
