[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would a Jewish person care how others celebrate Christmas or where the tradition comes from? And [b]why the focus on shunning everything related to the way things are done in the land? [/b]That sounds almost cult like segregation mentally [/quote] Because the “way things are done in the land” is a symbol of a religion that is not ours. I’m not trying to tuck anyone’s yum; I understand why some Jews—especially intermarried Jews—have Christmas trees. But there’s a difference between the original intent of a symbol and [b]what a symbol grows to mean[/b]. And the tree/lights/Santa mean “Christmas.” Which is a holiday I don’t celebrate. [/quote] I must again point out the massive flaw in your reasoning. If a symbol can "grow to mean" one thing from another, why can't that happen again? Why can't it go from pagan to mostly religious to non-religious? [/quote]
