[QUOTE="Star*, post: 319563, member: 4964"] Witz, I love you with all my heart, and I understand your stance on this. I agree with those that have stated that you do not owe anyone an explanation and it should be no more involved than that, but my heart agrees 100% with Suz's comments, and I'll leave it with this thought because to each his own: I do not celebrate Christmas one day a year. I do my best to celebrate the Spirit of giving 365 days a year with everyone I meet. Makes it easier to tolerate what man has turned into the biggest commercial farce where everyone can supposedly have a feel good one day a year -then go back to being ugly, hateful and think 364 days are wiped out by one day of cookies, tree trimming and tinsel. Just like being hypocritical and not being a decent person all week long and attending church on Sunday then being a jerk Monday thru Saturday. I think however you celebrate your life everyday is the reflection that you project to people on holidays as well. No need for trappings unless they hold some sentiment or meaning for you. I'm certainly not decorating a Maypole....but I had kids. :winking:mK. Doesn't necessarily have to be anti-Christmas - just adjusted holiday to suit your taste. [/QUOTE]
