Found this in a gaming forum while searching for information about Chys Khan, the real Jack Frost, who is also known as Väterchen Frost.
Awesome!

I have a Christmas tree! For the first time in my life! (well, not counting the "New Year trees" we've had every year when I was a Soviet kid).
The following dialogue often occurs when a Chinese person enters my house:
Chinese Person (noticing the tree): Oh, I know that. It's the holiday you, foreigners, celebrate
Me: Well, no, actually my people don't celebrate Christmas.
CP: ???
Me: I'm Jewish. We don't have Christmas.
CP: (compassionately): So you don't have holidays?...
Me: We do. A lot of them. Just not Christmas. We have Chanuka around the same time, though.
CP (thinking hard): If this is the case... why do you have this tree?..
Me: My girlfriend is Catholic. She is the one who celebrates Christmas, I'm just celebrating along.
CP: But isn't your girlfriend Chinese?!
Me: She is.
CP (completely lost now): But... how...??..
Me: She is Chinese and Catholic at the same time.
[Chinese Person is unable to process this information]
So yup, Christmas! To promote friendship between religions, my girlfriend and I sing Christmas songs with Hebrew lyrics. Try singing the melody of "I Wish You a Merry Christmas" with "Hevenu Shalom Alechem" lyrics. Sounds awesome! :)
