Here is a general thought! I have read lots of peoples views on this, and most have said the same thing that LIL said.
WHY is it that most people surcome to the commerical hype of xmas. its a christian holiday. if your not christian then why worry? Do you get upset or worried because you didnt have Hanukkah? or Kwanzaa or .... ETC. we can talk for dayz about different religions.
I was raised a Jehovah Witness for 12yrs. I really dont do xmas either, it feels weird and over rated to me. I have to lie to my kids and tell them santa brought them gifts!!! Fuck that, I bought the gifts and it was I that made it possible.
I give all year round. I dont wait until birthday,xmas,easter or any other national holiday to give.
During this christian season, I give my son's gifts weekly, I buy a tree, I tell them its because I like the smell, which I do :) and I dont decorate it in tradtion christian ways. I have our favorite activites. Hotwheels, popcorn, stuffed animals, we hang some stuffed animals with a noose, cause its funny :)!!! hahaha
I dont lie and tell them santa is real, I say its a story, like the tooth fairy, or peterpan. .... I dont dwell on the christian side...
I call it the winter holidays, time for snow and playing and giving and receiving.
maybe im rambling on, the Crown is kicking in pretty good :) hahhaa
I do save a good gift for xmas EVE! not DAY. but its from DAD, not santa!
Nigtmare before xmas has been great to use as decor aswell :)
OK
