I am always looking for ways of incorporating my Buddhist practice with my wife and our extended family's Christian faith. It can be difficult sometimes but i enjoy the perspective you broungt from your upbringing. My line is drawn at the adding of Buddhist imagery to the Christmas tree as well as the addition of my own decorated altar/shrine. I wouldn't want to include material or concepts that would conflict with my family's tradition but i will think very hard on the inclusion of a short meditation session before the gifts. Thanks and Cheers, John Oh Very Cool, Waylon! I am always looking for ways of incorporating my Buddhist practice with my wife and our extended family's Christian faith.

My line is drawn at the adding of Buddhist imagery to the Christmas tree as well as the addition of my own decorated altar/shrine.

I wouldn't want to include material or concepts that would conflict with my family's tradition but i will think very hard on the inclusion of a short meditation session before the gifts.

Thanks and Cheers,

John
