That you think you're autonomously creating a masterplan for the rebirth of purified Christmas while your children actually control even your sense of personal free will? It just might go that deep.

I haven't celebrated the "Ch...I'm with you, Neddie. I haven't celebrated the "Christ" part of Christmas since I was a child, and I only did that under duress. I'd much rather celebrate the Solstice, that quiet turn of the year, and look forward to the days lengthening by the minutes into spring and summer. And while I'm doing it, being mindful about what I have, rather than what the Great Consumer Society says I should want. This Christmas, I'm helping one minimum-wage daughter who lives in North Dakota get a warm coat, and I'm helping the other daughter, who barely makes more than the minimum wage, pay off a medical bill that's been keeping her up at night. We'll get together with the rest of the family on Christmas Day, and there will be good food and warmth and laughter, but everyone is feeling the financial pinch. So, we all decided that we don't need presents -- we only need each other.<BR/>On the other hand, telling your kids about a present-less Christmas?
