I grew up somewhat like you. The holidays weren't primarily religious but more about getting together with family and feeling good about our lives. We went to church fairly regularly, but we weren't fanatic about it.
The current PC thing annoys me. Let's pretend we are all exactly alike, rather than using this time to learn about and appreciate our differences. Feh!
I think it would be really neat to learn more about how other cultures celebrate their beliefs, but I know I'm in a minority on this one. (Probably not among my friends, but certainly among the people in this nation, generally speaking.)
Oh yeah!
