Wow, sounds like you enjoy this holiday season about as much as I do. It has been sad watching what perhaps started out loving and good turn slowly commercial and yukky. I watched in the mall as a girl told her friend that she was going to buy a cheap gift for another so he would have to buy something for her. I had to get away, swearing that I will NEVER become trapped again. No more buying cr*p gifts for people who don't really want them, no more feasts that goes mostly to waste, no more buying into the hysterics of the whole pathetic joke. I mean, we are really celebrating a pagan winter celebration that has Jesus' name attached, not his true birth day (or month for that matter). Sorry if I threatened anyones religious beliefs but I speak the ugly truth; Yeshua was born sometime in Aug/Sept. What gift would be truly appropriate for the Messiah of Peace's birthday anytways? an I-pod and a new dvd, or the gift of peace and love to those we don't even know? I see i-pods on many people and daily headlines filled with hate and violence, I see very little compassion and patient understanding.
