Best Bad Christmas Comments

Barry, I understand the thought behind reducing Christmas to the barest minimum...in order to truly appreciate all that we really do have. Still though...I think that many of us need that magical time of year...it gives us one time once a year to truly believe...to be optimistic...to be thoughtful of others...to be our best. I know that you are probably thinking...hey...if you're on the ball..you should be that way all year long. How many of us really are though? ? We need that 'magic' as much as any vacation.: -) No skipping Christmas...no skipping Birthdays...or other holidays...: -) Hugs, Dee

Ah, Barry - this is much more diplomatic than the first version - LOL! You're not a humbug, afterall. Yes, I do believe children should be allowed to live the fantasy as long as possible, because that's part of childhood when ANYTHING is possible. But as adults, we do learn what the spirit of Christmas is all about - it's giving from the heart, not from the wallet. Beautifully done, my friend. Linda :)
