[QUOTE="GMN, post: 1185247, member: 2382"] My good friend sent out a form email letter informing all of us that she would not be celebrating Christmas this year, not baking, not having her annual Christmas dinner party, not sending cards, not buying gifts for her clients or anyone else-nothing-zilch nada-She said it was just too much stress for her anymore, sick of the way Christmas has become commercialized, instead she will go away for a few days with her dog, and give a donation to her favorite animal shelters. I asked her if there was something wrong-and she said as we age we change just the way it is-BUT I think there is more to it than that, but maybe not. She is turning 50 tomorrow maybe a mid life crisis-if women get those? This leads me into thinking why are so many people letting holiday traditions die? It shouldn't be about black Friday or even gifts-isn't there a special feel to the holidays-the first snow, baking cookies getting a tree, some of my favorite things, seeing family and friends-after all Christmas is only 1 day a year, seems so lame to me that my friend has opted to opt out- What do you all think-Has Christmas lost its true meaning?
