OP, this attitude is the epitome of what is wrong with the Jewish community in America today. [/quote]

It is a cop out to give you honest answers???? Do you have a menorah you light at your house every year? Do you celebrate the Chinese New Year when you're not Chinese???? I said I don't put out decorations but I do celebrate with others who celebrate Christmas. Want that your question????? One year a few families in the area (Kensington?) we're mad about a Christmas parade and, in response Jewish families showed up in Santa hats to demonstrate their support of the parade being held. Generally, Jews enjoy the holiday season in its entirety. You are looking for flaws with the Jewish community for some reason and your axe to grind has nothing to do with this thread or the OP.

FWIW, Jews don't see not putting up a tree as robbing their kids of enjoyment any more than you see the joy you rob your kids of by not taking them to Purim carnivals. Get a grip. Call child protective services and report me for lack of tree. Our kids are fine. [/quote]

The point was that believing that a child can be tempted away from believing in a religion because they bother to take an interest in the holiday celebrations of their friends and neighbors of a different religion is the epitome of is wrong with this particular Jewish way of thinking.  You sound like you do take an interest and you don't have an irrational fear of your children being tempted to convert because they shared Santa-shaped cookies with a friend. [/quote]

You're clearly not reading my responses so I don't know why I bother. I said I DO celebrate with friends. My daughter helped decorate our neighbors tree this week! I just don't put up my own tree.[/quote]
