[quote=Anonymous][quote] And PS-- you can do whatever you damn well please. If you want to have a Christmas celebration at your house, do you think the Christmas police are going to come to your house and check your Christian credentials? [/quote]

LOL

OP, there are two Christmases.  The religious one and the secular one.  Most Christian families celebrate both, so for example, we go to mass but also do the tree and presents etc.  We light the advent wreath and say prayers, but we also have that advent calendar where you get some chocolate.  The secular grew out of the religious (and yes many of the religious parts grew out of the pagan).  The songs are Oh Christmas Tree, Away in a Manger, Silent Night, but also my personal fave, "oh there's no place like home on the holidays!….I met a man who hailed from Tennessee…he was headed for…Pennsylvania and some homemade pumpkin pie (SOME PUMPKIN PIE!)"  Ha and how apropos for this post.

So you want to celebrate a straight secular Christmas.  Go for it!  And religious folks, remember, the secular does have a connection to the religious.  It's a nice first step, if you wouldn't deny it to her.  She's attracted to it.  Let her be attracted to it.[/quote]
