For folks on the outside of the bOrg celebrating holidays is not compulsory. Do what feels right and good for you.
Don't want to celebrate holidays even with my daughter...

COGNAC- Could it be that you are fearful of celebrating holidays with your daughter because when she starts talking it may get back to your JW family ? I totally understand if that's the case. My wife and adult son and girlfriend and wife's parents do Christmas together - but it's a bit easier because my folks live 5 hours away and my other JW siblings live about 10 hours away.
Children are innocent and can easily let the " cat out of the bag " so to speak so I understand your apprehension. Do you guys still live close to your and his JW family ? Just curious. Perhaps you can do something simple with your daughter - not too extravagant so she won't squeal to JW grandparents - but it's a real fine line that many of us with JW family still in have to tread to keep them from bothering us around holidays. I have no clear answers- just be smart - I'm just posing hypotheticals here for you that you might consider. Good luck, Peace out, Mr. Flipper
