At my school we have a Christmas tree in the cafeteria, a Christmas program, some staff do secret santa, and my husband & I bought for an angel tree child at school.
Lots of Christmas cards & gifts exchanged and given out this past Friday. I hope it never changes. For perspective.... We are in the south.
Its like that up here in North Idaho, too.
We did secret Santa and some people wear Christmas themed garb.
My secret Santa did very well. The limit was 20 bucks. Next year’s Dilbert 365 calendar and a gift certificate for the local dining establishment. The only one in the area. I go somewhat regularly.
Here in SoCal we are not allowed to celebrate any holidays nor birthdays. We do, however walk on the wild side and wish each other a Merry Christmas. I miss the America of my youth.
