Too bad you're "offended" by our Christmas trees. If you don't like them, don't look at them. I don't like your people walking through my mall with curly lock hair and your women in long dresses when it's 90 degrees out!!
The world does not revolve around you. Im sick and tired of appeasing all these friggin cultures, I wish they'd all move the hell out of the U.S.
I can't remember any italians being "offended" by some menorahs.
If it's so bad, go back to Israel. And all the other "crybabies" go with them.
This is america and we celebrate Christmas so get the hell out if you don't like it. I sure won't change for nobody.
MERRY X MAS
MERRY XMAS
MERRY XMAS
AND to those who oppose me, you too can get the heck out.

It might be easier for you to leave than everyone else?

I don't think the problem is with jews specifically. To be honest there seems to be an indulgence by all Americans to be "offended". Being offended by a Christmas tree is as silly as me being "offended" by Kwanza (I hope I spelled that right). Or being offended by women covering their hair by women of other faiths. I don't find it offensive when I see a menorah or a cresent moon. I am grateful that I live in a country where donning such symbols in our yards or as jewelry isn't punishable by fine, prison or death. People are too easily offended. What ever happened to being offended at offensive things? Cuss words for example are designed to be offensive yet so many tolerate cuss words. Or how about racist words? or crime? Not enough folks offended by the things designed to be offensive and too many offended by things that don't really affect their lives at all. A Christmas tree is as benign as an American flag being waved in America, but again, there are even those in America offended at American flags. What silly things some people find to be offended about.

what? I am not offended by a Christmas tree
Next confession: I am a Jew, and every single one of my ancestors was Jewish. And it does not bother me even a little bit when people call those beautiful lit up, bejeweled trees Christmas trees. I don't feel threatened. I don't feel discriminated against. That's what they are: Christmas trees. It doesn't bother me a bit when people say, "Merry Christmas" to me. I don't think they are slighting me or getting ready to put me in a ghetto. In fact, I kind of like it. It shows that we are all brothers and sisters celebrating this happy time of year. It doesn't bother me at all that there is a manger scene on display at a key intersection near my beach house in Malibu. If people want a creche, it's just as fine with me as is the Menorah a few hundred yards away.

I don't agree with X-mas either. It's CHRISTmas.
Should we assume you are Native American since you deem yourself worthy to cast everyone else out? If not, maybe you should shut your pie-hole lest you be cast back to Europe where you probably came from.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
