How the experiment went

Celebrating Christ's birth on New Years was better than trying to do it On Christmas, but not as good as I had hoped. I suspect it takes practice. Part of the problem was that we had left many presents at home when we visted family for Christmas. When we got home, we decided not to open them right away. We kept not opening them until New Years. So when we clebrated Christ's birth on New Years and also opened presents, well, it kind felt like we just delayed Christmas by a week.

Note to self: next year, be more disciplined about separating secular Christmas (and the associated gift opening) from spiritual Christmas.
