am the only Jew in my Office. My co-workers decorate for christmas and every year I help- this year
They got together early and decorated everything in blue and white lights, snow flakes, christmas tree orniments, even candy canes, because those are Channukah Colors, they made snow flakes over my desk with Menorahs on them. What do you honestly think about this? I was really touched!

What a wonderful blessing! Thumbs-Up for your Co-Workers!
True Christians understand that the roots of the Christian faith are found in Judaism. The Christ-child we worship is a Jewish baby born to a Jewish family of the line of David, Tribe of Judah.
In such a family, Jesus would have celebrated all the Jewish feasts, and the Gospels of the New Testament reveal a life grounded in the Old Testament.
Rich Holiday Blessings to you all !

I think that was very nice. I am also the only Jew in a office of about 140 and never got anything like that and I am liked. I would thank your co-workers. Shalom

sounds to me like yoour co-workers are very mindful of your being Jewish. It is kind of refreshing to hear that there are people that have tried to involve someone from another faith with out offending them.
of course there are those that are Christian or Jewish that might say that its wrong, or it was done so you would not cry "political incorrectness"
so to you I offer the very best Holiday Wishes and I hope you are able to enjoy your "Christmas" at the office

Its the nature of human being to be touched with certain things regardless of your faith.
As a Jew, I wish you can also be touched with humiliation,oppression and discrimination against the people of Palestine spc the innocent women and children and live with true spirit of your fore-fathers Moses,Haron,Joshua,David and King Solomon.
Shalom

This sounds really nice. Although Christmas has a Christian basis, I could never understand why other groups couldn't participate in some way.

I think tha was great!
It is nice to see them help you celebrate your holiday aswell and not ignoring the fact that there are others who celebrate a slightly different way during this time of the year.
That was very thoughtful of them to include you and your celebration =)

I think it's very sweet of them to make sure you were included. I hope no one would be offended by their efforts because it sounds too me like they were genuine. Maybe a little corny, lol, but their hearts were in the right place I'm sure.

I think it was very kind of them to try to make you feel part of the group. Not everyone would do this, especially these days.
