A few years ago I did a piece for the Jewish Advocate on "Arthur's Christmas." I told them to trust me, it was a Jewish article. They decided to do an episode where one of the storylines was that the rich girl throwing the Christmas party couldn't understand why her working class friend couldn't come. It turned out she was Jewish and that year it was the last night of Chanukah. Everyone is reconciled at the end and the Jewish girl is asked what her family does on Christmas if they don't observe the day. She answers, "We go to the movies!"

P.S. When I did the article I learned that Marc Brown, author of the "Arthur" books, is a Jew by choice.
