Yeah, like tell them you are celebrating Saturnalia....my family isn't even 
religious, but that would send them over the edge. I love the trappings of 
the holiday...the tree, the decorations, the food...most of which pre-dates 
Christmas...the dead of winter is a good excuse for a bright holiday. We 
need another in February. New Year's is a holiday I don't celebrate because 
it doesn't seem to me to be the start of anything 'new'...spring (May Day, 
maybe) starts the new year for me.
