I don't know where you live but if you go to any church the christmas tree will be present and the services will focus on the true meaning of christmas, which is not the santa in the mall.  Again, why the intensity of you effort to turn christmas into some sort of non-demonitational holiday?  Is it simply to make you feel better about having a tree in your home? [/quote]

First, I don't care what goes in any church.  Mine had fish symbols in it also, does that mean we should be offended by Bass Pro Shops?

There is no intensity on this side to turn christmas into anything.  It can be means what it means to you and exactly zero non-religious people will take any issue with it.  But it is your side that is saying non-religious people should not put up a tree or celebrate the season.  One side is intolerant despite the fact they they are guilty of exactly what they accuse others of.

Get it, now? Finally?[/quote]

Different poster here. I don't care what non-religious people do. What I find annoying -- not offensive, but annoying -- is people who keep claiming that Christmas is secular and therefore Jews should celebrate it as a secular or American holiday. If Christmas can be whatever it means, then I wish those posters (who may not be you) would understand that to most Jews, at least any who were raised with any religious or traditional fervor, Christmas means Christ. Even if the actual celebration for many people means Santa. Because Christmas means Christ, and Jews don't do Christ, Jews don't do Christmas. It's pretty simple. [/quote]

NP. LOL. Nobody here said Jews should celebrate Christmas.  The only people who even care whether a Jew has a Christmas tree are other Jews.  [/quote]
