I had that same thought, KSUViolet.

I also wondered if a Christmas theme might make it too easy to fall into one of the dreaded "B" conversations (Bible, specifically).

Maybe you could throw out some completely unusual holidays (like Bubble Wrap Appreciation Day - January 28; or Teach your Daughter to Volunteer Day - February 2). For other ideas, check out this calendar of Official 2008 Holidays:

Don't get me wrong... I love the idea of the holiday theme. I just know someone from my chapter would've said something like, "What'd you get for Christmas last year?" To which a PNM could've said, "Well... I'm Jewish." Cue awkward silence.

Good luck!
