'the best christmas ever'
Had an interesting chat on the phone last night with my buddy Shane, who just came back from spending the holidays with his family. When I asked how the holidays went, he said it was the best Christmas they ever had. I asked him why, and he said they went to Tahoe on Christmas Eve, skiied, gambled and drank, and left the kids to their Playstation. It sort of illustrates my gripes about how Christmas has become and how to get around what we are told what we are supposed to do and actually end up having a good time, like we should. His family focused on family fun and having a good time as opposed to running around shopping and going crazy, and they ended up having their best holiday together ever. Good for them.
The weather is fantastic outside today. High 60's and moist...which is a blessing considering how raw my throat is today. I'm so froggy sometimes sentences are cut short to silence. Tomorrow we all return to our normally scheduled lives. Work is gonna be tough the next coming months. I gotta get a newsletter out, and get a load of other things done there.

I know what you mean about the meaning of Christmas, but your description of Shane's event just struck me as funny.
Basically, we should celebrate Christmas by: going to a tacky resort town, gamble, and ignore the children by letting them be entertained by electronics. But it's with family! Yay! lol

Hey, if the children were happy with their playstation, and the adults are happy being drunk, and the're happy together, it's good, right.
And I hope no one is dissing anyone who spends hours and hours of his life not socializing with people playing electronic games.
