[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd go buy blue and silver stuff and decorate it as my Hanukkah wreath.  I worked for DC government years ago and the supervisor insisted I put up a Christmas tree.  Funny thing I had no idea what to do so she got angry it took me a long time to figure out how to put it together and she never gave me the decorations so I found my own.  She did not like them.  That's what you get for asking me.  Worked for another county and they did a lot of prayers too.  It made me uncomfortable.

Wreaths are Christmas associated. [/quote]

Wreaths are Christmas-associated but I'd far rather do that than decorate a tree or some of the other examples on here. Especially the prayer. Wow. That office's EEO program needs a serious overhaul.

I agree, OP, that it's a little insensitive and annoying, but honestly so is CFC and practically all other "fun" office gatherings, so I wouldn't make a fuss about it. Personally I would not participate if I had the option. If it was required, I'd participate but steer clear of overtly religious decorations of any type (including Jewish). [/quote]
