No sir. If I go to anyones house and they have decorations up I don't do anything different than I would any other time of the year.
I'm not sure what you're talking about concerning helping others... but I don't do anything more or less for anyone than I would any other time of the year. If anything I do for them ends up helping them in giving gifts etc then that's not a problem with me. Anything I would do to help someone would be for that reason... to help someone.
For instance, if a friend is building something to give someone else for christmas and they need my help building it... I don't have a problem helping them this time of year just as I wouldn't have a problem in March.
I don't view this as some huge spiritual boogey man to be avoided. We simply don't make the usual trappings of christmas a part of our lives.
In a nutshell... I just try to be the same christian this month as I am the other 11. No more. No less. No fear. No avoiding. I just continue to live my life as I always do
