The Adnostic

My article for Fashion Tribes - Downtown Dolls is up. This month's assignment was "festive," so I wrote about a subject currently near and dear to heart - blended holidays.

As the Zen Master and I talk more and more about moving in together, the subject of how we balance our two faiths has become a concern. A minor concern for a secular couple, but a concern all the same.

In some ways it makes it easier. We'll never argue about where we spend Christmas, and even Thanksgiving is a no-brainer with Canadian Thanksgiving being in October. But then the "what if's" get in the way. What if we have children? What if religion holds more importance to us later on? Are Peeps kosher for Passover?

We've talked it out and we think we have a good plan for the worst-case scenario of "finding religion." (I didn't know it was lost.) It helps to be dating someone who has the same rational outlook on faith that you do. It just makes the relationship seem that much more sustainable because you always know that there will never be anything that you can't talk through. Not argue out, just talk through.
