DD has a friend who is a JW, and I've been thinking about her a lot.
Christmas is just so huge nowadays, it's everywhere from mid-October onwards.What's it really like growing up in a JW family and not participating in any of that stuff. The local school that DD and her friend attend is a church school (christian) so we have carol concerts and....oh I dunno, all the usual stuff.It's endless and everywhere. She has Hindu and Muslim friends who celebrate Christmas to an extent, in some way or another.
I'm not entirely sure what I think about the whole Christmas thing myself, tbh. We're not Christian but I do love the lights and the singing and oh!how I do love the food.
But what is it like not doing Christmas at all, when you're a child?
Oh, I am emphatically not a journalist, as any who recognise me will know.
And wouldn't it be splendid if this didn't end up as just another JW-bashing thread?
