One-third of the 141 readers polled have no shame in rocking around the Christmas tree — and another 19 percent will join them if they promise there will be no mention of Jesus.
But one-third say “it’s blasphemy!” and 19 percent take a more diplomatic approach, saying, “not for me, but go for it.”

Do you have a burning Hanukkah debate you want to have our readers settle? The Great Hanukkah Debates will continue until the end of the holiday, December 20, 2017. Email us at [email protected] and we just might feature your question.
Did you know that only 2% of Forward readers donate to support our nonprofit newsroom? That 2% make it possible for millions to read the Forward without a paywall or subscription — removing any barriers to the full and fair Jewish story.
But while the Forward is free to read, it isn’t free to produce. Big stories — like deep dives into the antisemitism data, political scoops or reporting trips to college campuses — take months of research and fact-checking. All while we keep you informed of what you need to know each day.
