Maybe that's why it remains my favorite holiday - it's completely optional. <br /><br />Kyle Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15711771420603067433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5775930719673129731.post-35287658415411293982013-12-18T12:09:25.454-08:002013-12-18T12:09:25.454-08:00Hey dude - all my feels.

It's the last completely optional holiday of the year. You can dress up. You can stay home. You can throw a big party. You can ignore the whole thing. You don't have to buy anything, do anything, or see anybody. It's the best!"<br /><br />(I suppose it's less optional when you have younger kids, but I appreciate the sentiment all the same.)<br /><br />Actually, I kind of wonder if Christmas wasn't a lot more naturally fun in the old days. It seems to me like a lot of the stress we get comes from travel, and financial strain, and from the constant barrage of treacle-y perfect Norman-Rockwell visions of what Christmas is "supposed" to be like. I think it would be a lot easier to enjoy if it was just you and your own local relations, taking a few days off of work and exchanging little homemade treasures. <br /><br />Sorry about the decorations, regardless. They looked so nice!Texhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07500527854574907482noreply@blogger.com
