[quote=Anonymous]I'm Jewish raised in a home where celebrating or talking about anything Christmas was verboten. How silly. It's just a tree, some lights, presents and some cookies. It's a pagan thing really..the tree and all. I see it as all a secular holiday. My kids are in their 30s now..we celebrated everything and frankly the whole Hanukkah thing is not really meant to be a big holiday, but our culture has turned it in to a secondary Christmas. I say get over this stupid philisophic dilemma. In the end it's just a tree. If you are an orthodox Jewish family, this wouldn't even come up. For the rest...you aren't keeping kosher, praying 5 times a day, keeping the Sabbath, so what's the big deal about this? You already are living a secular life but you just don't identify as Christian. Singing Deck the Halls doesn't make you a Christian. [/quote]
