heehee, as much as I am a grinch too, I have also tried to enjoy this year...I love going to the Christmas tree farm and cutting down a tree with the kids; my 11 year old son cut it down all by himself last year since I had an injury to my wrist! He is now the man of the house because of that! (he was so proud, I swear he puffed his chest!)

We also just decorated the tree here at work, and we were goofy, dancing around the tree and spinning it; one of the ladies put a big red bow on her backside and did gangham style...man. This was fun.

Thanks for the thread. You are right, it is a hard time, but finding even a teensy bit of good is helpful...
