I always wondered if someone Jewish might take offense at the term "holiday candle display." -- Just a thought.

If it’s Christmas, call it Christmas.  From the point of view of a Jewish person (me), calling it “holidays” or some non-specific PC term when it’s all about decorated trees, Santa and piles of wrapped presents just infuriates those of us who know that you are trying to avoid saying Christmas for fear of hurting our feelings.  Don’t worry about it.  We know about Christmas.  If we don’t want to deal with the existence of Christmas we can always move to Israel.

 

If you have a Hanukkah or Kwanzaa display as well, call it “seasonal”.

We use "Christmas," but personally I'm not thrilled with it.
