being raised into the JW beliefs from a very young age, I did not know anything else.
My first Xmas when I was in my early 20s was great. A full day of champagne; xmas music; decorated tree; lavish presents; the works...
I made up for all the lost time and holidays and now celebrate with a vengence.
I remember years and years of trying to "block out" holiday music. But I do remember "secretly" enjoying the Eagles and their rendition of "Please Come Home for Christmas" throughout my witness years. I still catch myself from time to time wondering if a witness is seeing me looking at some obvious christmas store in the mall etc. I am now FINALLY teetering on the edge of I dont give a crap, but the old witness drill sargents did a good job because this stuff still lurks in the dark areas of the brain.
