It has always been a custom in my family to put up the decorations over the Thanksgiving holiday and take them down a day or two after New Years. Christmas is more important to me...the family is always close and spends lots of time together (not so much for my kids since they go to Japanese school and it is not a day off) To me, New Years day is just an excuse for a party and getting drunk. I can do that anytime!

What makes me sad is that so many people feel like they must over consume just because it is Christmas! Why do people feel that they must buy so many things that they don't need?
