Or rather, Christmas movies.
An oldie but a goodie (2008) from Dahlia Lithwick at Slate. Not sure I agree with some of it; we were allowed to watch pretty much everything, but we had a a pretty strong understanding of the whole Jewish/not Jewish thing, and definitely had good internal compasses over what felt comfortable (and Charlie Brown didn't) and what did. Then again, I was the kid who told my classmates that Santa didn't exist--in Kindergarten.
My "The Rabbi Speaks" is on this topic more generally, and I'll post it next week. Let's just say it might get me in trouble.
