Actually Sinsull, that's the point I think. Every adult is free to make any choice they want about the holidays. I haven't decorated the house in years. It's a damn lot of work making holiday magic, and it is almost always women who do the thankless task of cleaning it all up when it's over besides.

And toward what end? Why wait for Xmas or NY to celebrate with people you love to be with? Why not do it at some other time of the year, create your own traditions, and save yourself a lot of time, energy, money, hassle, and stress, and do it your way, at your convenience, doing what YOU love to do, rather than what the season REQUIRES.
