Isn't it a great feeling ? !
Our first year of fading we were in a store buying toys for our nieces and nephew and one of our former JW friends spotted us .(Her husband works in the same company as my husband ) The next day one of the guys my husband works with told him the JW worker had said "Well when a witness leaves the religion they return to their own vomit " (referring to buying xmas toys ) I guess the worker gave the JW a stern talking to , and told him if showing a little love by giving kids toys is wrong than YOU are the one with the problem .
Each year we are getting better at buying gifts and sharing good tidings with others ,and it is a good thing . -

It feels good to be part of the real world, doesn't it? This is our first Christmas as a family and it's been wonderful preparing. Good for you!! and Happy Holidays!!!

Enjoy the freedom of giving gifts. That may fade in time as the allure of bestowing "stuff" feels contrived, commercialized and hollow. It happened that way with me. I can really do without the stuff, and I take delight in all the gatherings, visiting and carolling through the holidays.
