We haven't told anyone in about a decade now.
It's a spiral down into chaos. They find out... they ask why you don't... they take your answers as an attack on what they do... you get attacked "back"...
Silence is, indeed, sometimes golden.
Of course... those who do participate in the holidays don't have the market cornered on bad attitudes. That's for sure. I've seen some pretty bad attitudes by those who don't participate. There are plenty of bad reactions to go around.

Honestly, I never understood why the hostility and responses ever existed, either way. My children hear about Jesus all the time, regardless of time of year. So their focus around Christmastime (or any holiday for that matter) is pretty well-balanced.
