Hi Matt, your enthusiasm with what you bought is quite catching! I love all things Xmas related, except the religious part, not being a big fan of any monotheist line of thought. Which doesn't mean I won't enjoy a nativity scene at home at Xmas, as it is part of the Xmas spirit and the decorations that come with it. My big favorite decoration is reindeers, can you be more kitsch than that? 🤣 I am sure the Xmas reindeers I decorate the house with have lots of magic stories to share with Ganesha. And him being a god, he is far above all our mortal divisions about which "holy spirit" is right, and won't mind at all, on the contrary, I am sure.
I don't think there's anything wrong with celebrating other religions than our own. I have a little carved nativity scene that I love and it goes out every Christmas. I don't have to believe it to respect it and decorate according to their stories and beliefs. I tried to embrace all religions when my kids were growing up, so they'd be comfortable finding their own path later in life.
