if you like it, do it. i'm jewish. i have no christmas tradition and in fact want to hide for a couple months out of the year. last night i lit the menorah and served a lovely meal, and told the story of chanukah (teeny tiny miracle part invented after the fact by rabbis, but mostly an historical war story, and that's exactly how i presented it, too). tv ignored me and concentrated on the holiday that is almost a month away. anyway if i can light candles, you can decorate a tree. the difference is you will be supported by society from hallowe'en to mid-january and most of the world will pretend i don't exist )
