Who says non-Christians don't celebrate holidays? One of my relatives, who goes to church on Saturdays, Sundays and Wednesdays, hasn't celebrated Christmas in nearly 10 years and totally ignores most of the other holidays. I have a close friend who is about as non-Christian as you can get that thoroughly enjoys celebrating holidays, including Christian ones. With that said, I agree with Kat Kuvina that not everyone wants to work-to-live. Parties and other social gatherings are a great way to make you feel more than just a cog in the wheel. It sounds like you're getting a little burned out. We all go through that and I have been known to leave good jobs because of it. I left a good job as a Technical Writing Supervisor and moved to Alaska to get totally away from electronics, only to find that I truly enjoy technology. I just needed a break from it. I ended up selling computers for Sears. It was a GIANT step backward, but I also learned a lot about what goes into making a sale and about people. It was an experience that has helped me in every position since. As for organizing a cookie exchange, why not do it. It just might be fun.
