Are there seriously those on AFF that do not celebrate Christmas? I keep seeing barbs thrown at those who don't but I haven't actually seen anyone say they don't.

My niece and her family of four children, two toddlers and husband will come Christmas Eve. We will meet another of my nieces about 1 1/2 hours from here around noon. I will take her gift and say hello to her family. There are coming from CO. So I hope the weather holds.
Yesterday I cooked peanut butter fudge, peanut brittle, Candy Pecan Clusters, Pecan cookies, Oatmeal candy, and chocolate unbake cookies. Plus I already made some snickerdoodles.
Today I will make more brittle, Reece bon bons, coconut bon bons, and enchildads to freeze.
Christmas Eve I will cook a ham, dressing, and veg sides, rolls, dessert.
Christmas Day I will make Breakfast pizza, Cajun Cornish hens, aspargus, stove top stuffing, fruit salad, cresent rolls, pecan pie, carrot cake, Lemon layer delight. My neighbor and her son may come and join us.
So I am very busy cooking.

Wii, basketball, watching football, etc.
Yes, there are many that do not and I didn't mean to throw a barb out - just didn't want to offend them with this thread.

"throw a barb". Not the best choice of words. Typing fast and nothing else arrived in my mind. "Point it out" "Call attention to", etc.
You know, I'm often thrashed because I'm not "apostolic" enough. But I think it's very un-apostolic not to celebrate Christmas. I'm gonna find out who those people are here so I can go accuse them of not being apostolic!!!
"while you will have lovely gifts to show off to the world, we will be making memories. You may get an iPod or a toaster, but I will get to gloat over winning a board game. You may receive a bottle of perfume, but I will be getting my toenails painted by my baby girl...
And I will be happy to trade the presents under the tree for the "presence "of my children."
