This is truly one of the most flawed comparisons to a poll someone disagrees with. You celebrate Hanukkah's eight days and nights by lighting candles, and Christmas is a celebration of Christ's birth, not his death.
For some people to suggest that the cross, as the
universal symbol of the Church, should not be seen in a Christian liturgical feast is absolutely bizarre and only serves to cause controversy.
Lack of Jewish symbols, not only Hannukah candles, but also the Star of David, for example, at a Jewish liturgical feast would be similarly strange.
