Because I Said So – Dad Edition – Christmas vs X-Mas and Day of Traditions

For this week’s Because I Said So, MommaDJane and I are going to discuss: Christmas Day Traditions and the argument of Christmas vs. X-Mas.

Christmas vs. X-Mas
I am Catholic.  To me it is Christmas.  I understand that not everyone believes in the birth of Christ or even in Christ.  I know some of my readers are Jewish.  I do not call it X-ukkah.  I do not mean that in any way disrespectful.  I, myself, wish people Happy Holidays.  Call it Christmas, Hanukkah, and Happy Holidays.  Let’s move on.

Christmas Day of Traditions
A couple of weeks ago, I covered some of my traditions.  Growing up, we would go to midnight mass.  Afterwards, we would come home, drink some egg nog, and open one present from under the tree.  My wife has a tradition that you get pajamas on Christmas Eve.  These days we do a mixture of both of those.  We go to midnight mass with my family and drink egg nog.  Most of the time, I remember to buy new pajamas.  I think I forgot to get them one year.

I am heading over to MommaDJane to check hers out.  Why don’t you join me?
