I was tempted to throw in a Scrooge but each to his own I say. (and GM you have particular reason not to be too celbratory I guess). Personally, I like Christmas, it's one of the few times, our wayward family connects so it's very important to us. What's most important, is to celebrate it in your own way and not bow to the commercialism . . .mia culpa I fear, the event is what you make of it. Now, where are my schparkly christmas lights and Christmas crackers. Ah now . . I was tempted to throw in a Scrooge but each to his own I say.

I am relieved to see that I am not alone in my thinking. Cyber how thoughtful but ‘Toy Boy Experience’ might be a bit much for my heart!

I genuinely prefer it this way. The whole thing means absolutely nothing to me and I refuse to pretend there's something to celebrate and go through the motions.

Everyone gets so worked up trying to create something that they don't even want. You have the perfect attitude. I admire you :-) You are so right.

I booked and paid for that dance troupe 'The Toy Boy Experience' to entertain you on Christmas Day and now you say you want a quiet one.Like, they're the best 'jingly janglys' in the business. You haven't seen anyone jingle their jangles the way the 'Toy Boy Experience' jingle theirs. Maybe next year? :-) Now what will I do?

My daughter and I were saying the other day that one of the happiest Seasons we ever had was getting in the car, us 3 generations, and heading down to the beach in South Carolina on Xmas Eve and bailing out of the whole scene. Now we celebrate the Solstice, Dec 21, limit of $10/gift and all you can give to the more disadvantaged. this year I'll be on the road on Xmas Day heading back to Ontario thus bypassing the whole hypocritical and hysterical event. How on earth did we get so far removed from any kind of sanity around the season, I guess it's the mind-numbing, ear-bending, endless marketing of Big Corp. XO WWW Oh I so agree GM.
