Another concept: some enterprising amongst us might look on your situation as an entrepreneurial opportunity, where you could open up a storefront, even short-term, that would carry Judaica-related items, including Menorahs and Hanukkah cards.

Judaism came under organized attack in the courts before Christianity did. With Judaism it started in the '70's, with employers firing employees for taking Jewish Holidays off. At least the arguments were more logical. Yes, there were the separation of Church and state ones, most most of the legal arguments back them centered on the fact that the United States is overwhelmingly Christian. Some precedent, huh? Imagine using that same argument today. You COULD use that same argument today, successfully. Most Americans just don't have a memory for precedent. Back in the '70's you saw as many menorahs over Christmas as you did Christmas trees, and a lot of the time they were in the same house because that was the nature of the immigrants and their descendants then. Now...Islam is the religion of choice for the "secularists".
