[quote=Anonymous]Then OP and her husband can discuss ways that her stepdaughter can celebrate Christmas in a way that doesn't involve a large Christmas tree in the living room. It seems like there is tons of room to work here. OP said she wouldn't object to a small naivety scene. Other possible choices would include a smaller tree in  a less prominent area of the house. Personally, as both a Jew and a stepmom, I'd be most comfortable with something that was localized to a specific place and time, like a special meal or activity

However, this might all be putting the cart before the house. If there are specific lines, the OP doesn't wish to cross (large tree in living room, for example), she needs to make that clear. But the stepdaughter is only coming there for college. Who knows what her plans are for Christmas break. If she's off traveling or with her mom, this all might be a moot point. If a family Christmas celebration is important to stepdaughter, she might prefer to celebrate Christmas with her mom or other Christian family members. Seems less meaningful for her too to spend it in a house full of Jews![/quote]
