What I've learned so far: early 19th c German-Jewish immigrants loved Christmas trees; they were more cultural than religious. The later 19th century Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe didn't feel this way. Hanukkah developed mid 20th century more for the kids as an alternative to Christmas.

Fascinating so far. Sets up a 3-part conflict: American Jews, affluent German Jewish immigrants, poor East European Jewish immigrants. This lays the ground work for the internal struggles over Christmas among American Jews in the early 20th century. Herzl had a Xmas tree; so did Schecther's family. Xmas pogroms in Belorussia & Ukraine make EE Jews literally afraid of Xmas.
