[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The whole premises of this is that many Jews on this thread apparently feel the Jewish children have superior rights to the Christian child.[/quote]

Sorry, that's a total straw man. Not one poster here has advocated totally banning Christmas or not allowing her the celebrate. People have just expressed their levels of comfort with various aspects of Chrustmas celebration. There's a lot of room between 8 foot tree and banning the holiday.

Except for this gem from a PP: "The whole family is not both Jewish and Christian. She did not compromise her family's religious identity. She is Jewish - she is not both. Her children are Jewish by bloodlines. [b]Its not appropriate to have a Christmas tree in a Jewish home[/b] if they are raising the children Jewish."[/quote]

Right. They don't think a tree is appropriate. That's not banning the celebration. If a Jewish stepchild were moving into a Christian household, it likely would not be seen as reasonable to ban pork from the entire household. That doesn't mean Judaism is totally banned. [/quote]
