Sounds like little Yaakov is looking forward to a career as a government bureaucrat.

Maybe a Roman Catholic might have regulations for such things, but a Baptist will tell you that salvation is by grace through faith and so it doesn’t matter if the tree were purple as long as you believe. (In Jesus, not the tree....)

How about the profit Jeremiah giving a perspective to a pagan practice

“Jer 10:3 For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe.
Jer 10:4 They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.
Jer 10:5 They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good. “

In history this practice was a form of false worship, according to God, through Jeremiah.

Admiring the Christmas trees displayed in his neighbour's windows, Peter asks his father, 'Daddy, can we have a *Hanukkah Tree?'

'What? No, of course not,' says his father.

'Why not?' asks Peter again.

Bewildered, his father replies, 'Because the last time we had dealings with a lighted bush we spent 40 years in the wilderness.'

A Blessed Christmas To All My Christian Freeper Friends!!!

Merry CHRISTmas Nachum,
My Jewish component burst out laughing, the rest of me is staring at it waiting for the explanation. :)

I WAS THE ONLY GENTILE IN A NEW YORK JEWISH NEIGHBORHOOD.

MY BEST FRIENDS WOULD COME OVER AND DECORATE THE “HANUKKAH BUSH” WHILE I DID THE CHRISTMAS TREE

[Yaelle]

ROFL!!! never heard that one before!!

I adore Christmas lights! I was so happy when the neighbors started putting them up. I will be so sad they will take them all down. So beautiful. I love driving home or walking around and seeing all the beautiful trees in the window. And now in my new neighborhood there were a few other menorahs around! The kids were so happy to see we aren’t the only ones on the block any more!

(And one of the menorah houses was also a Romney house. Omgoodness! I feel less alone in the world!)
