The Mass of the Christ- doesn't sound at all religious to me. *g*

One of my brothers and his family never observed Christmas either, although my sister in law made a point each December of bringing home little gifts for her three kids, so that they could brag about them to their friends.

Now that they're grown, every one of them celebrates Christmas.

I don't know. I'm not big on Christmas either, although I love the steamy warmth in a snug house as family gathers 'round, especially when they (we) make music. As far as gifts are concerned I am far more in favor of spur of the moment gifts all year.
