In an alternative universe, family is just Jewish and the neighbor is now forcing their religion on their neighbors.
I don't know of any religions that are against trees. And the Christmas tree's ties to Christianity are tenuous at best, pagans have been using evergreen boughs for centuries to decorate temples and whatnot, and the practice in Germany (where modern Christmas trees come from) likely came from that.
My Jewish coworkers also like Christmas trees, they just don't put any Christian symbology on it. If ties to Christianity were clear, we wouldn't allow our governments to place them in public areas.
What about the antitreeists? They hate trees.
