[quote=Anonymous]BTDT! Jewish family, but the extended family could not be deterred from Christmas gift exchanges. It was frustrating, but what can you do. I think you can just leave Jesus out of it. Present Christmas as an American holiday like Thanksgiving. A day celebrating family and generosity and charity, or whatever values work for you. When kids get old enough to ask, acknowledge that for some people it's a religious holiday, but not you. In the long run, though, you should bring more attention to this at the extended family level. If they're not religious and you're raising your kids Jewish, maybe they should turn the volume down on thier Christmas or fold it in to your family's hanukkah for your sake. [/quote]
