I'm glad those days are over for you Blackdog Lin.
I must be feeling emotional today, it brought tears to my eyes. You're such a nice decent person and have worked very hard and to think of someone "dissing your gift" makes me sad.
I mean seriously, Little Baby Jesus in a Manger, what's more humble and beautiful than that and this toxic soup we've made of it makes me want to barf.
Don't get me wrong, I like me some Christmas bling too... the lights, the songs, St. Nick, Rudolph and the silliness.
This is a beautiful, sacred, special time of the year to me.
I do like being a grown up because I can choose what I want to partake of and what I don't and I am FINALLY (a long, long road for me) getting the point of saying, "No, Thank you" and that's it, Movin' On - no explanations required.
I love being on this board and hearing where everyone is coming from.
