Christmas trees are part of the ancient pagan cultures of northern Europe, not Christian.

Pagans didn’t have Christmas trees.

Good catch - The pagans called the “Yule” trees.
Thank you for the correction.

The Yule log, Yule clog, or Christmas block is a specially selected log burnt on a hearth as a winter tradition in regions of Europe, and subsequently North America. The origin of the folk custom is unclear.

No Yule tree, try again.

Great. I will consult “whychristmass.com” next time I have a question.

It really is offensive that Christians are polluting a beautiful religion and its beautiful holiday dedicated to crossing the desert to genocidally conquer the native inhabitants of Canaan, a tradition that continues unbroken to the present day.

The early Christians were hellenistic Jews. The Tanakh belonged to them too.

According to the Dictionary of English Folklore, the first "clear" references to the tradition of yule logs (not yule trees) appear in the 17th century, and it is unclear from where or when exactly the custom extends.

So is it ok if non-Christian people enjoy and have decorated trees as a secular celebration of the season?

Just no.

Jesus is not part of Passover.

Christians need to stop co-opting Passover and claiming Jesus is part of the Exodus story.

I can't believe I'm now seeing some Christians wearing a kippah now (totally unacceptable and inappropriate!!), along with having a Haggadah and matzah covers.

Seriously??

I've read some ridiculous "justifications" for Christians celebrating and it is just unbelievable to me, although clearly it is..

Come on, y'all.. it's disappointing to say the least.

I agree.

Who knew there are so many intolerant bigoted Jews on dcum?

I am fine with Christians to want to experience Passover the way Jesus did growing up - Although I believe the last supper was a pretty grim event in the Christian Calendar, and so if I weee a Christian I would rather celebrate good Friday and Easter most of the time.
On the other hand, I feel like like Christianizing the symbols and rituals of the Seder is disturbing. I had no idea people were doing that until I read that here. I hope that’s not common.

No. Christianity (33 AD) is older than Rabbinical Judaism (developed after 70 AD). Christianity is the continuation of the faith of the Old Testament Hebrew people.

HAHAHAHAHA thank you for that laugh.

Good one!!!!

I'll admit that the last sentence is my opinion. But the previous sentence is a historical fact taught in any Religious Studies 101 class in any university.

Tell me you went to a hyper Christian college that makes up lessons to fit its narrative without telling me you went to a hyper Christian college that makes up lessons to fit its narrative.

Christianity being older than Judaism is literally impossible. You're really off your rocker with this one.

No, definitely have a secular education. Maybe that's how I know this.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rabbinic_Judaism#:~:text=Following%20the%20destruction%20of%20the,and%20leaders%20of%20individual%20communities.

Dude. Just stop.

I don't need you to tell me when the destruction of the Second Temple occurred, thanks.

So basically just wanted to confirm that you're just going to ignore Temple Judaism like it never existed, and make the claim that Christianity is older than Judaism? Cool.

You're conflating two subjects and you're ridiculous.

I never said Christianity is older than "Judaism". I said Christianity is older than "Rabbinical Judaism," which is just true. Rabbinic Judaism does not have any kind of exclusive claim to previous traditions, as much as it might like to. Rabbinic Judaism is radically, radically different from Second Temple and prior expressions of Judaism.

Rabbinic Judaism is not radically, radically different than Temple Judaism. Obviously there were changes made in practice, but no core beliefs were changed.

Also, what is your point? Because I don't care about the "split," it has nothing to do with Jesus being in the Exodus Passover story. So why comment?

From earliest days, Christians (at first all ethnically Jewish) understood the Passover and subsequent Exodus and freedom from bondage to be typological of Christ's sacrifice for our freedom. That's why. You presuppose that Christians are borrowing the Exodus from Judaism. My point is that we see it as original to our faith tradition (which continues back to eternity past), typological, prophetic, and fulfilled in Christ.

No.

You have Easter to celebrate your proclaimed Messiah.

Leave Passover and Jewish traditions out of your home.

DP. Jesus was a Jew who celebrated passover before his death.

Christians who emulate Jesus in this are trying to get closer to their own faith. They aren't appropriating Judaism.

If you're worried about cultural appropriation, perhaps you could have a word with my bat mitzvah'd niece about her Christmas trees every year.

DP. You're just showing your bigotry. OP's issue is with cultural appropriation of Jewish tradition. Non-christians with trees is also cultural appropriation, because the trees are associated with Christianity.

Not that I care about the trees. But pp was just pointing out the hypocrisy of caring about one but not about the other.
