i had my fair share of feeling the christmas yuck for years because of the expense of buying gifts when i was a poor struggling single parent...i got sick each & every year for many years & was always relieved when new years was done & life would get back to normal...
a few weeks ago i watched a show on the history channel about the history of christmas...it was really interesting because christmas was not really celebrated until recently & its origins were not religious (the show stated that christ who is believed to have been born in the summer months)...did anyone else watch this? but now, for me...there is a simple beauty to be found at this time of year that has to do with putting up lights & gathering together with friends & family during the dark & colder winter months... ******************************************** Kate Bennett www.katebennett.com sponsored by Polysonics Discover the Indies at Taylor Guitars: http://www.taylorguitars.com/artists/awp/indies/bennett.html ********************************************
