SG...there is nothing that keeps the holidays more alive than children and their schools. It was the one thing I loved most about school work.

When I was a child, Christmas was a huge occasion. It smacked of something like what Bruce said. I had a huge extended family but these days, they are getting old and dying off.
Whether Christmas day is a large or small affair, I try to keep the spirit of Christmas. I often self check and ask myself if I am not just buying into the commercialism of it, but no, I don't purchase anything out of any feelings of have to but rather I like to.
I like playing Santa. I like offering presents to my tree and other peoples trees.(tongue in cheek)
Next year I will host the dinner. This year is a bit quieter. I am very much tired out but I like it either way.
