She likely won't drink alcoholic eggnog or wine....nor coffee products of any kind.
And if she follows our religion strictly, then you may want to make sure she has seperate sleeping accomodations.....or let them sleep in the same room and rest easy that there won't be much hanky panky! lol


We also try to "keep the sabbath day holy", so on Sunday's she may feel uncomfortable going anywhere that requires people to work (restaurants etc...)

We celebrate the santa aspect just like anyone else, but we also try to balance it with the religious meanings as well. Any and all family traditions are prized....so whatever you traditions are as a family will probably charm her....even if it's goofy or silly.

We aren't like jehovah's witnesses when it comes to holidays and stuff.....we atually resemble the jewish and lutheran religions more than any other.....both in culture and in beliefs.

It's a strong family and christ oriented religion. We emphasize living christlike lives and building strong families. But the Christmas Carols and decorations are all the same. (without the cross)
