Christmas tree is not christmas.

They allow all the other religious symbols but not the true Christmas symbol!

part of this is because some lawyers allow the fiction that the menorah is not a jewish symbol (it is merely historic). It is a flimsy lie to allow the discrimination against the nativity set ups.

"They allow all the other religious symbols but not the true Christmas symbol! "

The Christmas tree is a religious symbol? Which religion is that?

Jeremiah 10 2-8

1 Hear what the LORD says to you, O house of Israel.

2 This is what the LORD says: "Do not learn the ways of the nations or be terrified by signs in the sky, though the nations are terrified by them.

3 For the customs of the peoples are worthless; they cut a tree out of the forest, and a craftsman shapes it with his chisel.

4 They adorn it with silver and gold; they fasten it with hammer and nails so it will not totter.

5 Like a scarecrow in a melon patch, their idols cannot speak; they must be carried because they cannot walk. Do not fear them; they can do no harm nor can they do any good."

6 No one is like you, O LORD; you are great, and your name is mighty in power.

7 Who should not revere you, O King of the nations? This is your due. Among all the wise men of the nations and in all their kingdoms, there is no one like you.

8 They are all senseless and foolish; they are taught by worthless wooden idols. "
