Me?
Start something?
* looks innocent, adjusts halo *
For the record, I think Saint Patrick is my favorite saint (389-460 AD) ... (and I love the prayer he wrote, called the Breastplate of Saint Patrick)
I bind to myself today
The strong virtue of the Invocation of the Trinity:
I believe the Trinity in the Unity
The Creator of the Universe.
I bind to myself today
The virtue of the Incarnation of Christ with His Baptism,
The virtue of His crucifixion with His burial,
The virtue of His Resurrection with His Ascension,
The virtue of His coming on the Judgement Day.
...
I bind to myself today
God's Power to guide me,
God's Might to uphold me,
God's Wisdom to teach me,
God's Eye to watch over me,
God's Ear to hear me,
God's Word to give me speech,
God's Hand to guide me,
God's Way to lie before me,
God's Shield to shelter me,
God's Host to secure me,
Against the snares of demons,
Against the seductions of vices,
Against the lusts of nature,
Against everyone who meditates injury to me,
Whether far or near,
Whether few or with many.
I invoke today all these virtues
Against every hostile merciless power
Which may assail my body and my soul,
Against the incantations of false prophets,
Against the black laws of heathenism,
Against the false laws of heresy,
Against the deceits of idolatry,
Against the spells of women, and smiths, and druids,
Against every knowledge that binds the soul of man.
Christ, protect me today
Against every poison, against burning,
Against drowning, against death-wound,
That I may receive abundant reward.
Christ with me, Christ before me,
Christ behind me, Christ within me,
Christ beneath me, Christ above me,
Christ at my right, Christ at my left,
Christ in the fort,
Christ in the chariot seat,
Christ in the sloop.
Christ in the heart of everyone who thinks of me,
Christ in the mouth of everyone who speaks to me,
Christ in every eye that sees me,
Christ in every ear that hears me.
I bind to myself today
The strong virtue of an invocation of the Trinity,
I believe the Trinity in the Unity
The Creator of the Universe.

soooooo...what do you do?
lol. Am I a suspenful poster? 
As for His birth, I do acknowledge it during the Feast of Sukkot (The Tabernacles). I attend a Messianic congregation we celebrate all the biblical Feasts. I plan to listen to the good Christmas music at this time...mostly the ones that only focus on Jesus.
As for during December, we do celebrate with the congregation Hanukkah. Interestingly enough, Hanukkah is the one time of the year when Jews exchange gifts to each other. During all the other Feasts, your "gift" is given to G-d, whether it's a physical gift or simply the giving of "yourself". What Christmas teaches as giving to others, Hanukkah teaches the same. I don't do a tree. I do celebrate with my family though. No one else has stopped celebrating Christmas and besides, my parents are culturally Japanese Buddhists. LOL They just grew up with Christmas, regardless if they are believers or not because that's what American's do (in their mindset). While the rest of my family is celebrating Christmas, I'm just celebrating family, giving to others and Hanukkah.

No Santa Claus, Easter Bunny or Tooth Fairy in our house. I probably follow a similar philosophy to Sarah on this topic, having seen it go in a bad direction and not wanting that for our children.
I have a new topic, one that's been bugging me for a while - the issue of the media portraying that you cannot be an artistic man without being gay. To give two examples -
* An ad here in Australia where a grandmother and her grandchild are discussing a new table the child's father/grandmother's son has put together. The grandmother makes a comment that the father has always been very talented and the child (all of about 8yo) pipes up with, "Yeah, Mum thinks he's gay."
*I was watching Design Star last night and one of the designers, a heterosexual man, was designing an office space for comedienne Kathy Griffin. For about five minutes, I suppose she thought she was being funny, Kathy Griffin harped on about how she wasn't sure she felt comfortable leaving design choices in the hands of a male designer who wasn't gay and how it just wasn't right that she lucked out and got the only straight male designer in the show.
Why is it OK to sexually discriminate against heterosexual men in this way and yet if the reverse were said regarding a gay man, there would be a huge uproar?

I don't care for Kathy Griffin at all.
I've never understood the whole issue. If a man is good at decorating/design why do some think they must be gay?

It's also assumed that male hairstylists are gay. I went to cosmetology school with a number of them who weren't. 
Male nurses are gay. Someone should tell my brother that.

That's part of Kathy Griffin's act, to be obnoxious.
