I'm an agnostic half-Jew with a childhood history of extremely low-key Christmases with my dad's family and no Santa whatsoever; my wife is an agnostic half-Jew with a childhood history of really getting into Christmas seasonal poo poo as a way of connecting with her divorced mother, and she is adamant that we're going to tell our kids Santa is real. It is a point of contention.

Jeffrey of YOSPOS posted:As a Jew I never did the christmas stuff at home growing up, it's just never been a big production for me so I don't quite Get It.  I get the gift-giving part and spending time with family, but the people who convert the entire month into "CHRISTMAS!" are insane. You get Christmas Eve and Christmas itself already, don't be greedy. And the decorations are almost always tacky and terrible to look at, unless you go totally all out.

it really should be Christmas through Epiphany, but the religious holiday is pretty distinct from the seasonal consumer experience at this point have to agree on most of the commercially sold decorations- the traditional tree is always nice and there are lots of attractive/classy options if you care to find them, but the ones people seem to use are pretty bad in the absence of a maximalist approach

It is a point of contention. Who cares. You let em believe in a fairy tale for a few years and around age 10 they kinda realize it's bullshit and you tell them it is. If it'll make the wife happy and let the kids have just a tiny tiny bit of wonder for a little bit in their childhood what does it even matter that you spend a few years telling them Tim Allen is magical and good and not just a Coke head.

There's an argument that lying to your kids about Santa is good for them, because it might be the first instance of getting them to question authority.

After I started asking too many questions my exasperated mother responded with "He's a loving magical man, he just gets in, okay? Stop asking so many questions." I was okay with this because this meant that Santa was actually a wizard. If I ever have kids I'm just going to teach them that Santa is a gift wizard.

edit - ^^^ Probably the only time I'll ever write this but it helped being Catholic. Saint Nick was a real dude that got imbued with special powers by God. It put me in awe of all the other saints and I developed this weird belief that sainthood made you into a superhero. Business Gorillas posted:we had christmas in a one story house with no fireplace so santa was impossible. it made me realize that from a young age christmas was a hollow shell about buying as much as possible parading as ceremony I had Christmas in an apartment as a kid and my parents kinda did that Santa Clause thing where they pushed the furniture away from the radiator as though it expanded into a fireplace. We also made reindeer hay with hay we collected from construction sites mixed with glitter and they'd chuck it over the shared front lawn of our complex for all the neighborhood kids to gawk at. They also had the "big gift" come from them rather than Santa because they wanted to instill in us that Santa cares just as much about poor kids as rich kids and only parents can give you expensive gifts.

CountingCrows posted:my hot take: i really like christmas and think december is a really great month because of it. decorations and gifts are really great too. What this guy said! Christmas rules. I was raised in a cult and we didn't have Christmas, so I get really excited about it as an adult. I love the cold weather, the gifts, the eggnog, the lights--I love beautiful, tasteful rich-people style decorations and I love super-cheesy kitschy inflatable Santas flopping all over the lawn. I love the peace and good will message, I even love the whole range of Christmas music, from choirs singing somber spirituals to that Paul McCartney song. I love how it feels like the whole world takes part in this yearly ritual, and I get to be a part of it. I'm a part of something! I'm not the weirdo outsider any more! I'm normal! Merry Christmas, goons.

my dad is 65 and I still help him lug 25-30 huge containers of Christmas lights every year out of the attic, his house looks like Christmas Vacation. He has COPD so he can barely walk up 5 stairs without getting winded, I dunno how he manages to put all that poo poo up and not keel over dead

Every time I see those libido mismatch/sex dysfunction posts, I always remember how with my ex I thought that I had had my libido worn down by depression and lady part surgery and hormones and whatnot. And then we broke up and I realized that I did still really want to have sex, I just didn't want to have sex with his now-fat rear end anymore.
