- DH and I had a bit of an argument, but this year I agreed that DS could have St Nicholas visit if we didn't do ANYTHING about Hallowe'en. We are NOT having Santa anywhere near him: Santa is clearly some sort of modern god of snow and greed, to whom we sacrifice mince pies and sherry. I don't dedicate food to idols, nor do I let my son worship them. Yes, DH reckons that's too boring and hard-line, but I'd rather not bring false gods into DS's world right now.
BAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! That's so hilariously true!!

Sharon, I love your neighbourly traditions! Although not necessarily 'christmassy' as you put it, it's in the spirit of christmas, which is the most important thing!!

We have a few, mostly spending time with family members and eating wayyy too much! The most important thing I think is to enjoy yourselves, and to show a spirit of giving, generosity, love and appreciation. In my world, that's what christmas is, not the hyped up commersialism it seems to be becomeing to alot of people!
