[quote=Anonymous]No. We are Jews, so we do not celebrate Christmas in the home. We will go look at lights, our kids’ immersion weekend classes have Christmas concerts and parties in the target language, and we allow them to participate. But we are very clear that we are helping others celebrate their religious traditions. It’s no different than when our Hindu neighbors invite them over for Diwali or Holi. We also don’t go overboard with Hanukkah b/c it’s a minor holiday and we don’t want to worship materialism like many of the Jews here who are “celebrating Christmas” because they feel they have to compete gifts/consumerism.
