[quote=Anonymous]Serious question: how do you explain Xmas to your kids? Have 3 year old twins. DH and I grew up celebrating Xmas. My husband's family identifies as Christian but never went to church. I was raised Lutheran and went to church nearly every week. Now, religion is not a part of our lives and I don't think either one of us believes in any god. We like a lot of the Xmas rituals in terms of giving/receiving, getting together with family, etc. but don't know how or when to explain the biblical 'Xmas story'. We'll likely go to church with my parents this year and every-other-year going forward. How did other families in similar situations deal with this? 3 is probably on the young side, but was just thinking about when would be a good time to start explaining/introducing other traditions and why grandparents (and others) believe this one part of Xmas but we don't.
