Yeah, been there.

C.S. Lewis suggested we move Christmas to some other day so that people could have "X-mas" on Dec. 25, and then those who actually wish to celebrate Christmas could do so in peace and quiet.

That was about sixty years ago, but I still think the idea worth considering.

From a spot in time to present, so well the writer leaves the mark upon the page, history in thought drives more than words, form is perfect, skill set leaves nothing to grasp for.. Walt

Lyle...you surely brought out the torture aspect of the holidays! It's not always eggnog and holly. A biting Haiku.

Working in retail, I well understand these sentiments, Lyle..LOL

OH MY,
never has so much been said, with so few
word. A chilling reminder of ,
what is it really all about ...
Very well done, she says with a shout.

sorry I could not resist,
If you still do the holiday thing, have a peacful
and happy one.

This is a very powerful. Excellent write Lyle, I just hope you don't really feel this way. I hope you have Happy Holidays.

Huggs and Best Wishes
Janet
