No, Pawel, you haven't got the hang of jokes like this.

1. All the jokes which you quoted involved phrases which rhymed with
"Happy Christmas".

2. All the people referenced in those jokes might, or might not, have
been people whose culture celebrates Christmas.

3. People who classify themselves as Jewish do not celebrate Christmas.

4. A dreidel is a fortune-telling toy which has nothing to do with
Christmas and does not rhyme with "happy".

I would, in fact, be very interested to know why you thought that:

>to all Jewish guys-a dreidel xmas

was funny.
