A Chanukah celebration at Vice President JD Vance’s residence is making headlines for all the wrong reasons after the official invitation included glaring and embarrassing errors.
The green-and-gold invite, set for a December 15 cocktail reception, was billed as a “Hanukkah Reception at the Vice President’s Residence” and sent in the names of Vance and Second Lady Usha Vance. But across the top, in bold lettering, the invitation read: “The Golden Noel: Celebrating 50 Years of Christmas at the Vice President’s Residence.”
The jarring mix-up was first spotted by Jewish Insider senior national correspondent Gabby Deutch, who posted the image online.
The mistake recalls a similar 2008 incident, when the Bush administration mistakenly mailed Chanukah invitations featuring a Christmas tree and wreath. At the time, White House staff apologized and blamed the error on mass-printing of holiday cards.
History appears to have repeated itself.

Not convinced that this is in error. In a day and age that reprinting is an absolute cinch, there is no justification for this as a “mistake”. so its clearly intentional.
He owes us nothing. Say thank you and move on.

Can’t cure stupid
sadly enough, some yids think that hanukkah is the jewish version of christmas, so gentiles can be forgiven for not knowing any better.
If the stupid burned these people would be in agony.
Your headline is misleading. Vance did this on purpose and his staff has confirmed that it is not an error. Vance is a big problem. He publicly lends credence to bigots. He defends Hitler adoration in the extremes of the GOP. He downplays right wing racism. He is a BFF of Tucker and he blasts Israel while visiting. Vance is no friend of the Jews.
