Yes - Christmas Trees.
You see, Christmas is also a cultural part of America. A recognized
federal holiday. Many Jews who are proud of their American Culture
take part fully in the American tradition of Christmas, without the
religious part of the celebration.
They wouldn't dream of casting an insult by changing the name of
Christmas.
Better to be inclusive and be part of the American holiday.
