[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not the PP and I don't have a strong opinion about how the traditions of the poster she criticized reflect materialism.  But, I will say the "secularism" of Christian holidays can get on the nerves of even me (a liberal Catholic).  I had to bite my tongue recently as a friend explained to a large group that "she didn't believe in organized religions but her family celebrates Christmas."   I guess Christmas has different meanings to everyone and I have never before felt like screaming "THAT"S NOT CHRISTMAS."  But I did find myself wondering how the Jewish members of this group would react if I just declared I wasn't Jewish but I was having B'hat Mitzvah for my 13 yr old anyway (fur the cultural reasons).

Many Christmas traditions have roots in paganism. A non-Christian family throwing their 7-year-old a First Communion party would, like a non-Jewish family throwing a B'hat Mitzvah for their daughter, be offensive, Non Christians celebrating Christmas? Not so much.[/quote]
