How it ever became this commercial nightmare, I'll never know. The pressure we feel is created by our culture/religion and the commercial forces. For people who don't celebrate the holiday - it's just another day. So you might want to think about re-framing the idea of Christmas and put it in it's most simplistic form - forget about what you see on TV or the past. You could even forget about it completely if you want. I've thought about going to the mission to help serve Christmas dinner or you could go to midnight mass to acknowledge the birth of Jesus.

Thanks so much Lynn. That was very good advice.
