Solution- foist the holidays on you husband. =) You can tell him no, or better yet, distract him with sex. ;>
The whole war on xmas thing may be boomer generated on both sides. The boomers only share a chunk of time but have vast and wide political beleifs. If you are a last year boomer like me, the boom doesn't fit as I missed the 60s and 70s for the most part. The folks starting this is the PC movement and their "abundance of tolerance" for all faiths (sarcastic), and the PC movement -are- boomers. I think the whole war on xmas is busy bodies who don't have enough work to do and have a need to feel to be "a part of something". It's sad I don't get to prioritize the world's problems needing solutions, because let me tell you the war on xmas is small potates compared to other pressing issues. But if someone wants to force me to have an opinion, they better have a good argument for selling it, as I will tell them to get-a-life. -sighs- I'll give an example if boomers for you. B. Obama and I are the same age and born the same year.
However, I am ALL FOR removing the commericalism of Xmas. The commericalism is what makes this holiday stressful. Why cant Xmas be a small family celebration like Hanuka? I don't mind the music and a little decorating, but the commercialism is extreme and I find that distasteful.
Totally agee on inflatable decor as tacky.
Hugs you because of your dad. That sucks, and what a jerk thing to do to kids. Sadly, that is/was the culture of the "me generation".
OMG- lime green 70's macreme...oh thats horrible. LOL. You can burn it while sipping a beverage of your choice.
