[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP,

I used to make Xmas cookies and I would bring some to the office.  I made stars and trees usually.  The star cookie cutter I had was a 6 pointed star.  I liked it b/c it was a little different than the usual 5 point star.  Anyway, I sprinkled the trees with green sprinkles and the stars with yellow sprinkles b/c stars have yellow light -- right?.  My closest friends at the office were all Jewish.  I never thought that the yellow sprinkles on the 6 point stars might have a negative connection to the Holocaust, but I think someone (might not have been someone at work) told me that it was a bad idea and offensive.

Would you be offended by Christmas cookies that are 6 point stars with yellow sprinkles on white frosting?  Am I so clueless that I'm anti-semetic by accident?[/quote]

Oh boy! Yes, it would be weird to find yellow six point star cookies that someone had baked for an office party. But you have me cracking up. [/quote]

It wasn't for an office party, I just made cookies to bring to the office to set out in the front area.  As I think back on it, I think I also had red-sprinkled bell-shaped cookies along with the green trees and yellow stars.  FWIW.[/quote]

Didn't the Nazi make all Jews were yellow 6 pointed (king David) stars so they would know who was Jewish?   I think that's where the offense might be coming from. [/quote]
