I feel like the anti-Santa and dread the holidays. People don't do unto others, they do what they want.

I feel you. I'm not christian, but I want to join the "keep the christ in christmas" campaign.

Seriously. I'm a Quaker and our family traditions are mostly singing, charity, family time, and food.

Gifts are for kids. We focus on the light within and our place in this world. I understand Santa is fun and that's fine if you're into it. However we are happy to focus on truths that you can't outgrow. We'll never have to break the truth to our kids. The things they love about Christmas will only deepen and become more meaningful as they grow.
