I'm not regious, but I celebrate Xmas. To me, it's a time for family to come together. I look forward to Xmas and spending time with my family every year. I cherish the time together. I do think it's a little sad that people get all bent out of shape about Xmas, focusing on the merchandise rather than the spirit, but it's up to them to do so. I'm exposed to all the same pressure, but it doesn't get to me. Of course, I go out of my way to make Xmas more relaxed. I focus on small gifts, do 90% of my shopping on line (to avoid the overcrowded stores), if it's at my house I usually wind up making a non-traditional meals for everyone (like lasagna or stir fry), and I take time out to just relax and watch the Xmas lights.
