A good Christmas carol from my Lutheran childhood:

O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum,
wie treu sind deine Blätter!
Du grünst nicht nur zur Sommerzeit,
Nein auch im Winter, wenn es schneit.
O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum,
wie treu sind deine Blätter!

O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum!
Du kannst mir sehr gefallen!
Wie oft hat nicht zur Weihnachtszeit
Ein Baum von dir mich hoch erfreut!
O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum!
Du kannst mir sehr gefallen!

O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum!
Dein Kleid will mich was lehren:
Die Hoffnung und Beständigkeit
Gibt Trost und Kraft zu jeder Zeit.
O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum!
Das soll dein Kleid mich lehren.

My daughter took German in school.

Every year I try to remember this song, but cant seem to get past the first line.

Sigh. Must be getting old.

I agree with the posted Don Feder column, but I'm probably missing something here. Can you please explain the connection between the German Christmas carol "O Tannenbaum" (your post # 2) and why Jews should encourage the celebration of Christmas by Christians (your post # 1).
