My Susanah attended ALL the Christmas festivities with us - and she did it dressed in her Christmas dress (red velvet with white fur trim) and matching bow in her hair. The only reason she wasn't wearing her black patent leather shoes with it was because I accidently left them at my grandmother's house in AL the last time we went to visit. So no, I don't think you are crazy at all.
People opinions don't matter much to me anymore. A very wise person once said to me, "Opinions are like buttholes, everyone has one and some of them stink. There are always going to be that select few who stink worse than others."
