[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a Christian and I am totally fine with sharing the pagan tradition that we co-opted for our holiday, which we moved to December to co-opt a different pagan tradition.[/quote]

You completely missed the point.  Most Jews, even non-practicing, do not get Christmas trees. It is a Christian holiday, not Jewish or Atheist/Agnostic.[/quote]

Christmas is a national holiday in the US.  Get a tree if you want.  [/quote]

No one can stop you. But IME, Jews who do so are either intermarried, with gentile spouses who  miss their childhood, or they are not just assimilated, but shallow and dare I say it, vulgar.

And it does not matter if atheist/pagan gentiles have them, or if some fundamentalists don't have them.  Nor does it matter if Hindus have them.  Or if totally assimilated Soviet Jews had New Years trees.  The folk wisdom of the Jewish People is that having  a Christmas tree (admiring your neighbor's tree is quite different) is a marker of non Jewish identity.   [/quote]
