[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Love all the Christians saying its cool to for OPs DD to countdown to Christmas. Wonder how many of you would be good with your children wanting to light a menorah for 8 nights... [/quote]

I posted on the first page and I am totally OK with that.  I think the main difference is that a lot of Jewish traditions are mentioned in our old testament whereas Christianity is obviously no part of Judaism. [/quote]

I am a Christian also, active in my church, teach Sunday school, say grace before meals etc. We always light a menorah for Chanukah. My kids love it, it looks pretty on the table and I think it is important for children to learn about other cultures.  They are interested so I go with it.  I am proud of it! We are still Christian. 
If any of my children decide later that they identify with Judaism and wish to convert that is entirely their business. I will celebrate Chanukah with them and expect they will celebrate Christmas with me. 
There has to be more to faith than being allowed or not allowed to celebrate holidays. At least that’s how i see it.
