Yep. A Jewish friend of mine practices Christmas w/ his kids b/c he doesn't want them missing out on toys and fun. I got him a menorah tree-topper that he thought was hilarious. His wife just rolled her eyes at me =P
Christmas itself is a blatantly pagan celebration lurking underneath a hastily cobbled mask of monotheism.
The christianization of europe couldn't kill the celebration, and that menorah tree topper is ultimately no more ridiculous than an angel - they're both semitic monotheistic symbols slapped ontop of blatant germanic paganism.
