[quote=Anonymous]Hi OP. I am a Jewish woman married to a Christian man. In December we have both a tree and a menorah in our home. The tradition of the tree has pagan roots and the way most of this country (my husband’s family included) celebrates is pretty secular. It doesn’t make me any less Jewish to help my husband and kids decorate a pine tree with pretty glass ornaments, any more than watching the kids and me light the menorah and eating latkes makes my husband Jewish. Now if he wanted us to go church or hang up crosses or icons, then I would be uncomfortable. However, if this is your hill to die on, and hers too, you just may not be compatible. [/quote]
