[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here- to answer the PP, I'm asking about the holiday season (ie, after thanksgiving through New Years time frame). I suppose I'm in the minority but I grew up culturally Jewish but not around a lot of Jews so I was always envious of all of the Christmas stuff (cookie decorating, decorating the house, picking out a tree, etc.).

Yes, I know that Hanukkah is a minor religious holiday.

Maybe I'm projecting my own feelings but I don't want my kid to feel left out of the holiday fun and want to foster some non-religious traditions for our family. I guess the closest is the move and chinese food idea but obviously it's not very baby/toddler friendly!

Thanks PP for the book recommendation- I'll check it out. [/quote]

I mean you can always do the more secular type activities like going out to look at Christmas lights/zoo lights, Botanical Gardens' train display, making cookies, having a new years party, etc. You can also decorate your house with winter themed stuff like garland, tartans, white snow theme. I decorate my house for fall, so you could decorate your house for winter too without it being religious or looking like you celebrate Christmas. [/quote]
