Re: WHAT!?! No Christmas???
D4T, I can and do respect your decision to abstain.
For me freedom came when I stopped making lists of things we can't do or won't do because of it's pagan histories etc. It is truly a celebration of the Birth of Christ. A fun, festive celebration with focus on Christ, our families, food. Truly a wonderful time of year.
There are aspects that I still reject... we teach the kids about St Nickolas and accompanying folklore but there is no lying - we keep the fantasy in perspective. Though I must admit, kissing Kristin neath the mistletoe is somewhat magical...
Speaking of garlic, I had some this morning with my deer steak!
