HA! I had something brilliant & pithy to say so of course I somehow deleted it. Glad I can still laugh at myself, although mostly I feel frustration. And isolation.
I do enjoy the holidays, but I don’t buy into all of the stupid emotional baggage. I just love the beauty of the season….the colored lights, the beautiful trees with lots of shiny things, the very concept of Peace on Earth.
I give money to charity rather than buy gifts for people who don’t really need anything. I plan to purchase cat & dog food at my local, independent pet store then donate it to my local pet food bank, in the convenient barrels located in the store. I avoid crowds. I don’t watch commercial tv or listen to commercial radio, so that I’m not exposed to the obnoxious commercials.
This year I’m going to try really hard to send out Christmas cards…but I’ve not been able to get it together to do that for over 50 years, so don’t hold your breath.
