[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I am not religious.

If I married an Indian man, or an Asian man, or a Native American, or etc. etc., although I am not any of those things, I would not object to my mate having items of cultural significance to him in our home.  You need to let this secular symbol be no big deal to you.  Maybe work with her to agree "it doesn't go up until December 15 and comes down immediately on the 26th" so you don't have to tolerate it for too long.  Maybe discuss no baby Jesus ornaments, but stars and angels are OK.  Whatever you need to get to a place where you can be OK with it.  You need to compromise.  Having an evergreen tree in your house for two weeks a year should not be a deal breaker if you love someone.

If she were adamant about you not having a menorah in the house I'd tell her the same thing.  [/quote]

It’s not going to work.  I’m married to Jewish man and he would never tell me how long I can have Christmas decorations up or which ones would be acceptable. Likewise, I don’t tell him how to celebrate Jewish holidays, either.  We help each other. Sorry you don’t get along with Jewish women, OP. The ones I know are wonderful wives and mothers. [/quote]
