Did anyone tell WL about the pagan origins of CNY??? Course not.
Yet he was allowed to use CNY to worship God and preach the gospel, but we Americans could not do the same with Christmas?
Does that not define hypocrisy?
Good for you to use the holiday to tell your kids about the Savior!!!
Read the stories from the Bible.
The next town over has a pilgrimage they put on to re-enact the stories. We went one year. It was great. No one could talk, only pray silently, and relive the events.
In the gloomy midwest, I actually love all the outdoor house decorations. So beautiful.

Good point. And having grown up in the Midwest too, I loved the way that Christmas lights lit up the evenings and broke the depressing hold those grey Midwestern skies had on us during the winter (seemingly half the year LOL).
