Hahahahaha!
This was exactly where my parents ended up for a few years. It was after someone pointed out to them where the whole idea for them (and for the timing of the holiday) came from. It was around the same time that they got very vocal about how all Catholics were Hell-bound idol worshippers.
Christ in physical form, I hate to break it to them, is actually an idol. Jewish anti idol God has no shape or form whatsoever and is pissed, according the their religious text, at people who worship forms and think that forms have special abilities.
One thing that may help you understand my parents a little better: Dungeons and Dragons was sopmething they considered devil worship. The Smurfs were secretly brainwashing children into using black magic and getting abortions (apparently the Smurfs were actually aborted fetuses). They also protested getting a used organ for the church as being too focused on material goods, and the church I grew up in split a bunch of times of stupid tiny differences. The nastiest over whether or not divorced people should be allowed to ever remarry. Oh, and when I first joined the military they called me a baby murderer and when I got out they called me a liberal socialist who hated America.
There are some pretty wacky people out there.
