What To Do Around The Holiday Seasons , We Don’t Celebrate Xmas?
For religious reasons, my husband and I have decided to no longer celebrate christmas, and easter. ( we celebrate passover and day of unlevened bread instead) And we do celebrate most all other celebrations(anniversary, birthdays) .We have a young daughter (6 ) And I wanted to know what are some good things to do around dec 25th , since we no longer celebrate christmas, santa claus , and the xmas tree.

how about going away for xmas and stay in a hotel that way there will be a pool to keep ur daughter entertained and maybe a show on the evening to keep u adults occupied. sorry its not much of an answer :(.
Start your own ‘family day’. Spend time watching movies, playing board games, playing sports, baking, going on vacation, having a picnic, reading stories and just generally do things as a family. You can also make some crafts together and turn it into a day that your daughter will always look forward to, even if you don’t celebrate christmas. So she doesn’t miss out on presents, for family day you could get her one or two small gifts if you want to.
If your denomination does not observe holidays then ask others in your local congregation what they do. It is not sinful to participate in some of the practices (despite what they may teach).
Otherwise, your daughter will be bored to tears on Christmas morning.
Hotels are usually running half staff on Christmas. There are hardly any places open for business at all. Perhaps you could consider a ski-trip. The slopes are barren on Christmas morning.
Any sports activity that is appropriate for your climate
I feel sorry for your 6 year old.
I pity you.
