      As did Isreal!

      (edit)
      Jokes aside, it also took me forever, and I went through the exact same list of who might be offended. Who reads “Ham-mas” on a christmas bag and even when saying it out loud associates it with Hamas? I mean it’s not like anybody still associates Christmas with Christ, so who cares what the first part is. Give me Crisp-mas with lots of crackers!

      It’s actually the Jews who asked to pull it out because it sounds like Hamas

            I mean who doesn’t like pork? If I had to pick one type of meat and that’s all I’m allowed to eat for the rest of my life I’d choose pork

              Unpopular opinion: Pork over beef. Anyday.
