Their response is a great thing.<br /><br />If you ever have some children check back with me. I think the attitude could change.<br /><br />KGKenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01856681227445633312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8614376202473604721.post-76905101512866608772009-12-27T09:37:27.202-08:002009-12-27T09:37:27.202-08:00I think the majority loves christmas.

Not only does it start earlier and earlier each year (I also saw X-Mas stuff in the stores while they were still selling halloween items), but you also have the people who get pissed-off if you say "Happy Holidays" and not "Merry chrismas." If they are religious, and want to believe in that stuff, they should be aware that there are other religions and other religions holidays this time of year (especially since X-Mas was a hijacked pagan holiday).<br /><br />And even worse, I have been very busy these past few months traveling for work, etc... and X-Mas kind of snuck up on me this year, adding to the pressure and depression of the holiday season. <br /><br />Both my wife and I come from families that we cannot spend time with so we also are basically alone this time of year.<br /><br />So, while I both hate this time of year, and am glad it is basically over (New Years is minor and only requires staying up later than I would normally do), I hope that you had as good a holiday as possible and that hearing that you are not the only one who goes though what you go through this time of year gives some comfort.<br /><br />I encourage anyone else who has similar feelings about this holiday to comment, even if only in brief acknowledgement, so we can be reassured in the fact that none of us are alone.Kolisarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17834678844904671433noreply@blogger.com
