every year as the frenzy begins and grows, I am happier to celebrate this day. In fact, this year, I am celebrating a mostly non-corporate Christmas. Most of the gifts I give will be home made gifts with only a few small gifts that I need to buy. I am tired beyond bearing of the materialistic nonsense that the holidays have become. I am moving as far away from that as I can. I want to concentrate on spending time with family and friends.
