Lots of baked goods, homemade stuff, good company, good food, lots of love. Pretty much the way we've always done it. [/quote] That sounds very nice; I just believe it should be that way, perhaps on a slightly simpler and more modest level (in other words: less forced, less intense, less calculated and planned), ~every day of the year. [/quote] Christmas is about family...but not just our families, it the family of man. Be generous to a local charity this year. People are hurting and as we go forward I'm afraid it's only going to get worse. [/quote]

I hate to be a scrooge but.....It's high time to end Christmas!
There's just too much pressure to consume. People are just getting by or not getting by and the last thing they need is to feel inadequate at not being able to provide a nice Christmas for their loved ones.
It's just not right.
I think those who can still play Santa Claus should say "fuck it" and donate what they feel can they spend on things nobody needs or really wants and give the cash to a local charity. Maybe the local food pantry....
Time to man up and say to hell with Christmas.
Give to those who really need basics.
To hell with "Black Friday" and Merry Fucking Christmas!
If not now then...when?
Peace
