Hollywood and Madison Ave have made Christmas into something it never was, requiring too much money, too much 'stuff', and in the process, ruined a nice festival. It's an unpopular view, plus I find it depressing. I wake up Christmas morning and think of all the people who are going to find the day something to be got past, lonely, perhaps cold etc etc etc. I was witness to an event 52 years ago that did me in, David always said he wished he could have found that woman again and murdered her !! So I hope that doesn't upset all the people who love Christmas, I just don't. I enjoy the family meal, though even then there is a certain measure of sadness that I am here to see all these decendants, but David is not. Signed Canadian Grinch lol A friend of ours in Scarborough (Yorkshire) was a quiet, rather shy and retiring lady; she had been retired for even more years than she was widowed, had no kids or other relatives nearby and lived by herself. One Christmas Day morning when she was about 68 or so she got up and was bored - so she took herself off to the Salvation Army hostel in town and asked if they needed any help. She spent a very rewarding day serving meals to the down-and-outs, washing up and generally doing something useful. As far as I know she is still going to the SA every week to help out and now looks forwards to Christmas! -- Bruce Fletcher Stronsay, Orkney UK |

I loathe, despise, detest charities that keep you on their mailing lists for
years after you've made one donation. Over time, they've probably spent more in printing and postage than I gave 'em in the first place. -- another anne, add ingers to reply |

Over time, they've probably spent more in printing and postage than I gave 'em in the first place. I will second that one! I get particularly annoyed at the ones who send you the address labels, scratch pads (with your name on them) and Christmas cards. None of these are requested, and now some even include a dime or a nickel! All the money spent could be put to better use, I am sure. I select the charities I choose to support; they may change from year to year, but it is MY choice, and the others shouldn't be trying to give me a guilt complex. Bah humbug....and off to giftwrap the last of the family packages. Fortunately the ones I am doing today all live in Florida, so that is routine next day delivery with UPS.
