Actually, no.

I don't want to sound mean, and I'm really trying not to sound sarcastic 
but...

It's firmly rooted in Christian tradition. Given that, as a rule, Jews 
don't celebrate Christmas, there's nothing "Judeo-" about the 
tradition.

June, I know you weren't trying to do or say anything negative here, and 
you were describing something that takes place in schools around the 
world in december, I just needed to post and clarify this, because it's 
a little buggaboo of mine.
