Bah Humbug...

Dear Diary,

The Christmas season is on my doorstep and I would like all the gift giving hoopla to go away. Every year is the same thing and I hate it.

There I said it.

Not Christmas, but the "I want, I want" of the holiday season.

Why can't we just be a family and have tradition and not worry about presents. I want my kids to think of Christmas with warm feelings and good thoughts about family, not be dreaming of every "thing" they can get this year.

How do I stop this viscous cycle?

Signed:
Scrooge

OK so Monday, let's plan a way to bring back the spirit into our homes. I am in the same funk. Just want to be able to love this season with out ANY commercialism. I have a couple homecrafted ideas, and baking. LOTS of baking.
