How do you feel about the holidays? Love, hate, apathy?

[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 642258, member: 84"] I am still a xmas fanatic. But I admit, I've had to find other ways to enjoy it because it has been many years now since there were small kids living at home. And my girls are carrying on traditions with the grands, so there is little or no need for me to do so. One of my big things is being an elf to someone who might not otherwise have a decent holiday. Sometimes this means donating groceries for a big dinner, and or putting toys in for Toys for Tots, and watching the local community pages for folks in need (who thought they'd be ok but the bottom fell out at the last minute) and doing what I can to help them out. Toys for Tots this year I truly enjoyed because the need multiplied by tenfold and thus donations were down due to it too. Walgreens had a fabulous sale on toys....buy one get one free. This meant I was able to give twice as much as I could have........which I did. :) New Year's has never been a holiday I make a deal out of so........phht. lol [/QUOTE]
