And I confess, I have so little hope of it changing. Individually, we can make different choices but one decision feels so small against the overwhelming mainstream. Makes me weary thinking about it.

We have lost the true meaning of what Holidays mean, not just this time of the year, but what most of those days mean, other than a long weekend or a weekend filled with sales.

In the past we had one big birthday party for all 5 kids, great timesaver during the holidays, but WAY too many gifts. Then for their 5th birthday we asked that guest bring 1 unwrapped gift for Toys for Tots instead of our kiddos. We had a lot of expaining to do but the kids were so excited expecially when two Marines in dress blues came to collect the gifts during the party. This year they picked the Humane Society and all the guests are asked to bring pet food or toys. If they can 'get it' at six, I think we all can. Taminoreply@blogger.com
