[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Christmas trees are completely pagan in origin, just like Easter eggs. You can feel perfectly fine having them. [/quote] Well, not really, seeing as the Torah prohibits worshiping any pagan or foreign gods. Christian, pagan, whatever -- not acceptable from a religious or traditional standpoint for Jews. Which isn't to say people don't do it anyway, of course.[/quote] They are pagan in origin - that doesn't make them "worship." By the same standard, you'd have to give up those Hannukah gifts (just a concession to Christmas) and a surprising number of other things, like Valentines Day cards, bridesmaids, birthday cakes, and much much more. Good luck with that![/quote] To be fair, Jewish preschools don't celebrate Halloween or Valentine's Day. [/quote]
