People adjust when they realize that we have made up our minds about something and that is the way its gonna be. So long as we do it matter of factly and not in a negative emotional way.


Exactly. "I can't handle the Hoopla so I don't"

Every year it takes me by surprise that people start talking obsessively about buying and decorating and buying and decorating....

And every year I promise myself I'll leave town next year. Overseas to a Santa Claus free zone.

Peace to the TEAM! cheerleader


for me its much more about cooking and eating smile
but then again, that's not much different than any other time of the year smile

I could see spending christmas up in the alps somewhere, trapped by the snow.

or in a remote Japanese island village.

or just holed up at home, watching videos of charlie brown and the grinch and baking pumpkin and cranberry/orange/nut breads.
