I have decided to "drop out" of Christmas, starting now. I am sick and tired of being part of the mass hynosis which pervades this nation at this time of year. From now on, I will honor each loved one on HIS or HER birthday. (Please don't try to guilt me because December 25 is Jesus' birthday. If you do, you'll have to prove that; even if it is His birthday, I doubt he feels honored because you make Sears and Zales rich.) Aren't you all as tired as I am of making the major retailers very, very rich by buying their merchandise? Aren't you all as tired as I am of being lockstepped into the same old rituals year after year?
You have no idea how FREE I feel and how ridiculous the scene looks when you step back and observe instead of participate. No, I'm not a lonely, cynical person...not at all. I am a highly educated adult woman with a great family and good friends. In many ways my life is charmed. Are there others out there who've come to the same conclusions as I have?
