[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can't spend Christmas together and not have this be a problem. Santa's a big part of the Christmas celebration (as opposed to the religious background of the holiday, obviously).[/quote]

So, for you, Santa is more important than the fact that Christmas is a celebration of the birth of Christ?  That just seems so backwards to me.  [/quote]

Um no it is not backward if you don't believe in Christ. And yes, non Christ believers still get to celebrate Christmas.[/quote]

Of course they have the right to celebrate it.  We've managed to drain religious holidays of any non-commercial meaning in this country, and people celebrate them all sorts of ways.  But I still think it's messed up that an imaginary person giving stuff to your kids is so much more important than the actual basis for the holiday that people are actually suggesting that OP not spend Christmas with her brother and his family because they don't participate in the Santa thing.
