[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Their goal is to include you in the fun. What's your goal?[/quote] My goal is to not have to justify the fact that my family doesn't celebrate Christmas. Again, I don't begrudge anyone their secular Christmas celebrations. I attend my neighbor's Christmas party and I wish people "Merry Christmas." I feel like that should be enough for people without hearing that I'm depriving my kids of Santa or that I'm misunderstanding the cultural meaning of Christmas if I'm not willing to get a tree. Because it's crazy to have to justify that.[/quote] It's hard to imagine that you actually have to justify not getting a tree at Christmas. Please consider that you're just responding to people's surprise that you don't have a tree. While I decorate for Christmas, I have rarely had a tree -- too much cleaning up afterwards and it's a fire hazard. I don't have pine branches either, for the same reasons. [/quote]
