As an atheist who is anti-commercialism, Xmas (I have petulantly refused to write "Christ"mas for several years and don't buy cards to send with the word on it) poses problems now that I have a son. How do I treat this time of year? Yesterday was relatively easy and even next year it might be possible to just kop-out of really dealing with it, but I have to come up with a strategy both you and I are happy with.
Yesterday, you got presents from your Nanny & Grandad, Cousin Yvonne and family in Australia, Maki in Singapore and books from me and your mum. The Koala got the most stares and the keys that also travelled half the world made you laugh, continuously. Nanny & Grandad gave you a bowl with spoons for when you are on solids (very useful), your first stacking blocks and a set of teethers. Maki sent you a cute little yukata.
