[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you need to do some more thinking for your kids' sake. If you are raising them as devout Christians how is it fair to send them to Jewish Sunday School? How is it fair to the devout Jewish children? These are two different religions. They conflict. That is a reality you need to face. It's not like exposing them to a little modern art.[/quote]

We are a practicing Jewish family, and our kids "help" my mixed-religion in-laws celebrate the holidays of the other religion.  Sure, the theology conflicts, but there's nothing wrong with joining in others' celebration (or other observance) of their religion, to the extent it's permissible (we obviously wouldn't take communion).[/quote]

I helped my college roommate decorate "his" christmas tree. But I didnt go to school at his church.  Jewish Sunday School, though at the youngest ages the content is going to be more baking challahs for shabbat and singing songs for purim than it is theology, is not just a place to enjoy some holidays.  Its a place many Jews rely on as the beginning of their childrens jewish learning and identity.
