It's not at all what I though it would be, it's pretty yes, but I don't feel like it's honoring God in anyway. Like someone said, if my church is against it and I'm forcing the issue, that's not a very good lesson to teach my kids. Besides, I belong to a great Church and they love my family very much.
Today when I pick my kids up from school, I'll have to figure out a way to tell them mommy made a mistake. Since I got you all involved in the beginning, I'll be honest and tell you how they handled it. But honestly, I think the tree is coming down. Thanks again for all your advice everyone especially Miss Brattified.

Please forgive me, but this a whole lot of something about nothing.
It's straining at a knat and swallowing a camel.
If your kids are happy, I hope you haven't broke their heart.
It's about people...God cares how we treat each other, not if there's a tree in our home to celebrate the season.
Why we make God out to be such a taskmaster I'll never understand.
I hope you do come back and tell us what happened.
