[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not sure who your target audience is. I've literally never met anyone like this, with the "insisting".[/quote]

+1 who in your life is insisting you do anything? Your spouse or family?

That’s a boundary issue, not a religious or holiday issue. You can enforce your boundaries without guilt. [/quote]

"insisting"

Public schools insisted I color christmas trees and sing silent night when I was not a christian. In many places they still do this shit.[/quote]
We had "Christmas break" when I was a kid and did a lot of Christmas crafts and songs in the weeks leading up to break. I remember when they made the switch to calling it "winter break" and how that change was mocked. But, ultimately, the semantics mattered and stuck and there is a lot more awareness these days of the diversity of the student body, so that my kids don't have to color Christmas trees at school. Normalizing the fact that other religions exist by closing for a handful of other holidays will make a difference over time. We just have to be patient.[/quote]

Right -- and everyone celebrates New year's which is actually the Christian Feast of the circumcism, which I didn't know for years and I was raised Catholic![/quote]
