When my kids were little they insisted we listen to Christmas songs all year long. They were oblivious to the "rules". They didn't know they were breaking anything they just liked the songs. I remember thinking, why not? Besides, it's kinda fun to break conventional mores every once in a while. I'm always up for that!
I guess my point is it's easy to find a comfortable conventional spot and build a nest. I for one have a long and wide irreverent streak and anytime that round peg butts up against a square hole I want to play too! I'd like my kids to understand customs are good, even important but that's precisely why, on occasion, it's good to enjoy a little Christmas cheer in July. They learn to keep things in perspective.
Well, the answer to the question is obvious, I hope. Plus, there is no hassle buying everyone presents.
