Sometimes a tree isn’t simply a tree.[/quote] I don't think there are really any observant non-blended Jewish families that have Christmas trees.

Most kids don't make any connection to Christmas and the birth of Jesus. Christmas in America is a commercial annual event marked by vulgar materialism--no real spiritual connection to religion.
