Wow i have not been on for a couple days so today i come on and see the comments on my post and i am bowled over by the sadness. I am very sorry for those of you who arnt really feeling the joy this time of year, i understand. I still have young children so i go the extra mile maybe in years to come i won't who knows.
People are a little nicer that is true but honestly i would recommend looking harder the rest of the year and you might be surprised, mixed in with all the horrible news stories and heartless crimes there are still good strong decent people. They stay hidden until they receive kindness first then they show themselves.
Be the reason for someone to open up today.

The only positive I see in this time of the year is that some people try to be nicer and more friendly than usual. Then right after the new year it all goes back to rudeness and road rage drivers. LOL

What are you celebrating Christmas if you don't believe in God (Jesus) ?

Could not care about whether it is Christmas or not, actually this time of the year when people go crazy is a bit annoying.

Not really.

Love it how the closer it gets... the less engaged I am I’ll begin to determine what day the Winter (up here) Solstice is ..and whether there’s an event worth attending. But usually not… as the frantic insanity continues several more shopping days without skipping a celestial beat

What a refreshing post! I get so bone weary of people only going on about how they hate this time of year. Some of them actually try to make others feel guilty for not being made as miserable by the season as they are! I love the holidays, especially Christmas.

Humbug!
