From this video, Kyle, who is one of the main protagonist on this show, mourns and sings why he can't have Christmas like other normal kids do. He mourns over the fact that he can't receive presents from Santa because he doesn't or can't celebrate Christmas. He also complains of the fact that he is a Jew. Because everyone of his friends celebrate Christmas, he wants to fit in and celebrate with them, but he knows he can't because he's a hebrew. This video reminds the viewers that while the majority of the people in America celebrate Christmas, Jewish people don't. They celebrate Hanukkah instead, which takes place during Christmas season. Since America and other countries mostly care about the majority of the citizens, (considering that America is a democratic country) they tend to forget the minority, which includes Hebrews. Celebrating Christmas might be a way of hurting the Hebrews during Hanukkah. During the Christmas season, companies tend to advertise their products through television, radio and newspaper to inform the citizens that it is time to buy presents for their loved ones. However, Hanukkah is rarely mentioned. In order to create a society with no prejudice and racism, it is necessary to celebrate all of the holidays from different cultures, including Hanukkah.
