just against christmas decorations and christmas songs.
It's once a year and it makes kids happy. Don't you like it when kids are happy?
It's about a whole month a year. And And it's not the decorations or repetitive songs which makes the kids happy but the presents. I'd prefer to simply celebrate winter solstice without all the shenanigans.
Now see I can’t agree here. My children love the repetitive songs as children need repetition to learn things so they tend to enjoy this in their media.
That aside if your kids are only happy about the holiday due to presents, I’ve got to wonder if you are teaching them good values, time with family and good will towards men should bring much more happiness than receiving gifts.
Don’t you feel more joy from giving something back than receiving material things?

It both doesn't feel good for me when it's done because it's a social norm. It's much better to surprise someone with a gift or give someone what they need when they need it.
Also how would you celebrate anything without shenanigans?
Meet friends or family and celebrate, there is no need for a month of blinking lights and stuffed stores for that.

I have to disagree. Kids love the festive feeling December brings, all the nice decorations, street lights and and songs. The presents are coming at the end of it.
If you say so. I don't know many kids.
Damn right.
