I've been getting a lot of witches coming at me for the fact I celebrate Christmas with my family. Not here but after this post I'm sure it will come.
But let me tell you something.
I have a 7 year old who goes to public school. He knows I and his other parent celebrate Yule. He has expressed interest in practicing witchcraft. We are doinf this with him. Teaching him the basics and answering any questions he has. He's also expressed that while he understands that Yule and Christmas are similar he feels left out when his friends talk about Christmas, he feels like he's missing out. His first question was "we can't celebrate Christmas because we don't believe in that right?". You know what I said?
"That's not true! We can celebrate it secularly. We can celebrate being with family and being good and kind to others. It does not have to be religious for us!" So that's exactly what we do. We celebrate Yule as a sacred day and Christmas secularly so my kiddo gets to experience that and not feel like the odd one out. Maybe one day he'll decide he just wants to celebrate Yule, but until then, we do both and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. It doesn't make us any less witches for it.
