No, I was brought up that Jews don’t have trees.
If I put one in my apartment my mom would think I converted.

I understand, but it’s too bad you couldn’t just tell her you wanted something colorful and cheerful.

Tell her tree is a "green earth" thingie that removes the ebil CO2 from your personal space, an organic air freshener vital to your health.
And then threaten to put some of these up.
Has to be one or the other.

The trend nowadays is for trees decorated in blue and white for the Jews. I actually had a small one once, all blue and white ornaments, and someone asked if I was Jewish, though the rest of my Christmas decorations were traditional red and green.
I even had a blue and white felt tree skirt, with a million sequins that I sewed on it by hand.
So get your little Norfolk Island pine, and you can always decorate it later. Grocery stores sell them this time of year, along with little potted spruce trees. The NI Pines are so much prettier!

Tell them it’s not a Christmas tree, it’s a Hanuka bush.
