JD Vance's Hanukkah invitation says 'Celebrating 50 years of Christmas' in embarrassing blunder [View all]

In an apparent oversight, Vice President JD Vance has reportedly sent out invitations for a Hanukkah party that said “Celebrating 50 years of Christmas.”

The holiday mix-up was noted by Gabby Deutch, a reporter for Jewish Insider, who shared a photo of the invitation on X Wednesday.

The invite states: “The vice president & the second lady request the pleasure of your company for a Hanukkah reception at the vice president’s residence.” The event is scheduled for December 15. Above this, in large cursive lettering, it reads: “Golden Noel,” followed by “Celebrating 50 years of Christmas at the vice president’s residence.”

It’s not the first time the White House has included references to Christmas while celebrating Hanukkah, Deutch noted. In November 2008, invites for then-President George W. Bush’s Hanukkah reception included images of Christmas trees.

This was no "blunder". It was intentional.

Of course it was intentional - "Noël" is the French for "Christmas", derived from the Latin for "birth" muriel_volestrangler Dec 5 #4
