This German Jew identifies himself with Germany so much that he adopts the Christmas Tree custom of his fellow countrymen. He draws the Christian aspect aside with the true hint towards the heathen Germanic origin of Christmas Trees.
The first joke might not be so funny but it tells a lot about the attitude of German Jews, especially between the Bismarck era and Hitler's accession to power. In that named time period, a German Jew believed himself to be a German first of all and secondly a Jew.
