Others look at us and think us odd because we do not accept manger scenes and the like. Yet we exchange gifts and sing Jingle Bells. We teach first by example (no religious connotation to anything we do, no sunrise services, no virgin Mary, etc) and secondly, when the opportunity arises for discussion, verbally. I see this as no different than how we are to teach in anything else -- we must be always ready to give account for the hope that is within us.
