Kids and Western holidays

Our son, 1yr & 9mo, is being raised as a Buddhist, although I am Christian. We did the Christmas tree thingie last year, and this year as well (fake of course).

 

I like staying away from the Santa Claus myth as I believe this led to over commercialisation of Christmas in the West, which eventually became quite a bore.

 

When he's old enough, I'll share the principles of Christianity with him, although I fully expect he'll be a Buddhist as is his mom.

 

Halloween seems to be gaining ground here as well ... and there's plenty of basis for that with the Thai Buddhists' firm belief in spirits, etc.
