    I don't do much at all for Christmas, and I have not for years... usually only if I am in a "significant relationship".

    Not interested in the gifting wars, but I've been known to celebrate for the sake of corporate resort marketing.

    My partner is stuck in that 'Gifting war" mode. He would rather go in debt buying gifts for people that he does not like, than on himself. I enjoy thanksgiving more than any other american holiday. No gifts involved. Good company, good food, football. I buy xmas stuff for my kids, and grandkids, thats it. I send it on Solstice, along with Yule cards. My second favorite day is new years, for the all day bowl games.

    The rest of ya can enjoy all of the christmas you want. No need for explanations on my account. :)

    I do a lot for Christmas. I work all day. It's that asshole that does our scheduling, he does it to me every year...
    Oh wait, that's me. It must be that I am avoiding the wife's mother and her stress fest. When asked why she
    puts herself through all the added stress and gets that uptight she says "Because I enjoy it." Personally I have
    always hoped she means the holiday, not the alien she turns into but you never know.

    The difference between inlaws and outlaws?

    Outlaws are wanted.
