Here they come ... the year end holidays.

I manage ok, though I find much of the accompanying hoopla a bit depressing.
Thanksgiving has morphed into a day to stuff one's face with a murdered turkey. While Christmas is a total abomination of folks spending money they don't have, for items they don't need ad nauseum. (though there is some redeeming music ! )
And the New Year is welcomed by many too drunk to know it's arrived, till much later.

I know there's exceptions to all my somewhat downer assessments, and some celebrations are genuine. And I do mange to find joys here and there - though I'm glad when it's all over ...

What are your feelings and observations of these upcoming days ?
