My wife and I observed the birth of Christ on October 17th, at Tabernacles. Wal-Mart won't be getting a dime from me at 'Christmas', but, neither will anyone else. :-) Sure is peaceful to rest quietly in my living room whilst everyone is banging heads over parking spaces and sale items the next several weeks. Enjoy!
That sounds like a great idea, to move Christmas to a more convenient time, preferably when the traditional gift items have just started to arrive in abundance.
