[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They both teach religion, and have strong views on what Christmas should be. They told their 4 year old (and 1.5 yo) that there is no such thing as Santa, are anti-gift for Christmas and am not even sure will do a tree. Christmas is about serving people. They come from out of town to see us, the grandparents and other extended family ever year.

Since they have strong and noble feelings about this, we all defer and have a lame lame lame Christmas. I am not even christian, but I like Christmas. I like that it is filled with love, and joy, and is a little over the top. Before this started, we would do like $20 gifts within the family so it was not like we were overdoing it. But I can't be the one who says, actually, I would like my kids to get to open gifts, wonder about santa claus, or eat more cookies than necessary.. And it all sounds so good in theory, to escape this consumerism and spend the whole break volunteering, and giving and going to church, but in practice it is a little drab to have such a ..fundamental.. Christmas. Vent over.  [/quote]

You sound like you're a very confused individual. If you're not Christian, you shouldn't be celebrating Christmas. Full stop.[/quote]
