Luckily, my parents would place board games outside of my door on Christmas for a couple years in an effort to cushion my heartbreak over the absence of a tree. And I just LOVED your idea about the magical Eid Elf.... I hope that when/if I become a mommy, I can find a way to make Eid celebrations even more exciting then Christmas ones.

I totally remember growing up Christmas-deprived, and in my wiser days I guess I've learned to live in a Christmas-less space, mostly because that holiday still feels strongly intertwined with Christianity. Halloween is the one that I like to champion. While its origins are still in Christianity, I just don't see anything subversive about kids running around in costumes to collect candy.
