I am really disgusted with the consumerism and shopping drama right on top of this holiday.
Greece sounds like a nice place to get away to gaea, I hope that you get there one day.

I am disgusted with most consumerism on most days not just the holidays....its heartbreaking to see Christmas being "sold" before Halloween ever even approaches. It seems to me that young people are a "target" in this economy i could be misspoken on that however that is what i see.
I remember feeling sick over the consumerism so i took 3 or 4 years and just celebrated the holiday did very little gift exchanges and whenever anyone would ask what i wanted i would simply reply time with my family.
I worry too that so many people are forgetting what this holiday is really about. I digress.....
So my daughter and granddaughters are going to be in attendance this morning to a brunch a bunch of us get together for monthly here im super excited to introduce them to some of my friends. My daughter has done a lot of volunteer work withing the community and volunteered for me at Pride 2 years in a row. Breakfast laughter and a rainy morning today looking forward to it.
I will get to greece someday.
