Am I the only one who hates Christmas time? (The Holidays in general)

this time should symbolize peace and love..

instead it stresses me out.. the airports, the family drama and then the pressure to buy people who already have way too much of everything a present! Seeing family then feeling guilty for leaving them again.. ugh..

Since you mentioned this Sassy, several years back when I was wanting for and needing for nothing, Nannie asked me about Christmas and I told her I didn't need a thing. I asked her to make a donation to the women's shelter for me for Christmas. She did that for several years and then demanded that she wanted to do something for me. So I told her to give me a Guidepost subscription so that is what she did each year since then. I guess I'll have to buy my own subscription this year.

Great idea.. I am normally way more in the spirit of giving to those who need it than this.. spent many Christmas' at AIDS shelters or Childrens Hospital and one year hauling quadriplegics to their loved ones in the snow..

Sure beats exchanging gift cards in total chaos.
