As for Christmas, being single for a long time now, I pretty much don't bother with the tree, gifts, etc. I pause to reflect what giving gifts and Peace on Earth are supposed to mean (and how I can try to live that spirit daily) and then I go about my day with my four-legged companions, who don't care about trees or presents or any of that stuff. Okay, Twist does like to open presents and is quite good at it, but she doesn't know the difference anyway. For me, the best part of the season is spending quality time with good friends and family and NOT being forced to endure social activities with people I wouldn't generally spend time with anyway. Whew. Quite a mouthful....Julie Poudrierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13840024697696827161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4096637479253298483.post-83315857767481973372009-12-01T13:57:35.833-05:002009-12-01T13:57:35.833-05:00Girl, I'm always out there pimping for neighbo...Girl, I'm always out there pimping for neighbors. lol <br /><br />Don't misunderstand me y'all, I'm all for being appreciative that Christ was born. That's the good part. I'm appreciative of what others are celebrating this time of year.<br /><br />I think my bad mood is tied up in the fact that the sixth anniversary of my failed marriage is coming up, plus the second anniversary of his exodus. Both of these things coupled with the sense of impending doom tied up in that which cannot be mentioned at the moment is just... making me a bit of a grump. This is all about deflection.<br /><br />So yeah, give us back our country music (Carolynn, I'm right there with you!).<br /><br />PS - Jean... I'll trade you the Hallmark movies for some meaningless sex. lol I'd do gift thing but it's just not feasible... which upsets me because I like to give.Laura Carsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11752781068707907365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4096637479253298483.post-77047643879975229642009-12-01T13:16:16.684-05:002009-12-01T13:16:16.684-05:00I am right there with you... The meaning of the h...I am right there with you... The meaning of the holiday escapes me most of the time because it is drowned in crap. Ornament exchanges are right up there with dodge ball in my opinion. Then there is the fffing music. I turn on my favorite country music station and whammo I am hit with "grandma got run over by a reindeer". Thinking I can get relief by tuning into the country music channel on cable - I am assaulted by "Mary did you know". There is no escaping it. What if you are Jewish (I am) and love country? Think of the dilemma...<br /><br />Farmville?

I do love the movies (a nice change from the violence and gore and meaningless sex usually on tv), and the pretty lights and music, but I sure hate the commercialism, the obligatory gift exchanges (last year my brother and I each gave the other a gift card for the same store, in the same amount - how dumb is that??), and the socializing with strangers and/or people I don't like.<br />I think I partially resolved the problem this year - I've moved far enough away so I'm not expected to be at the social functions. And with a couple of exceptions, I'm just NOT doing the gift thing. I've got some dog stuff to do, and some volunteer stuff to do, and on Christmas morning I shall take my four legged family for a lovely walk and then curl up with a book and some favourite treats.Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08231007979360748217noreply@blogger.com
