This I actually do find annoying. In fact, when the family went to a local restaurant for supper last Saturday, my son got two of these inquiries. He has, in fact, been taught that the appropriate answer is “We don’t celebrate Xmas.” [...] [...] Xmas Meets Parenthood By Bob I apologize for trotting this little ditty out yet again, but it actually says what needs to be said, especially if you live in places other than New York (like here in the Midwest): But now that I’m the father of a 5-year-old, we get a little different taste: People ask my son if he’s “excited for Santa to come” or some such thing.

Personally all alcoholic beverages taste nasty to me, beer being the worst. And yes, I can taste the alcohol in those drinks where they tell you you can't taste it. And it's not fun for a non-drinker to be around a bunch of friggin' drunks, lol. The real reason I don't drink, is because I've what it does to people, namely my dad and my sister. lol, I don’t drink either.

I know how he feels. It's liek the time I told a colleague to come on over to the company beer party and she said "I don't drink beer." What a prig!

Times like these reveal much about the social advantages of belonging to that crazy xian cult (especially here in the midwest, and, I’m sure, in other places as well). Aside from the whole creepiness of the imaginary old fat guy who sneaks into your house through the chimney in the middle of the night story, it’s really not very decent of you to ask a 5-year-old to think about the ways he might be excluded from something like this.
