    Christmas is always the most fun, especially with little ones who get so excited and just count down the days. :)

    For me, Christmas and every other "Family" holiday meant a full day of listening to all the family members get into fights and storm out of the house. I really only have one good memory of Christmas, and that was one of the years I was at Ft. Campbell, 1000 miles away from my family, and with good friends and the girl I let go.

    I know where you are coming from. Sounds similar to most of the family events that I go to. Perfect example was Sunday at my nephews bday party when my BIL started negatively talking about the Catholic church and his family started jumping all over him about it. Funny thing is that none of them are what I would call "active" Catholics and I got the stink eye from my wife when I mentioned it. Can't wait to get back together with them on Christmas morning....

    Don't get me wrong, I really like the Christmas season and try to go out of my way to be extra friendly to the people I encounter on a day to day basis. I just don't care for the drama it brings when it comes to family .... "You spent more time with them, than us" or "We have to spend $xxx amount on their three kids, but they only spend $xx on my kid".

    I just decided to sever myself from anything to do with any holiday (unless its one I made up myself)... Losing Halloween was a bit of a B*** to adjust to, but I dont miss the others at all!

    I like Christmas again.

    When I was a wee lad and my pop owned a drug/liquor/lottery/check cashing/loansharking place Christmas was a hoot. Now mind you, I was an over privileged pudgy white kid in the ghetto, Doc's son. All the regulars were always glad to see me, slip me a quarter or sometime a 50 cent piece. The local beat cops would hang out in the store. There were piles of sandwiches, cakes and stuff from the Jewish Deli. I learned to twirl a nightstick back in those days.

    Fond Christmas memories...

    Personally I find the said James Brown Christmas Video revolting, vile, and demoralizing; furthermore, there is no place for grunting in a Christmas carol. This song has set Christianity back to the times of the Spanish Inquisition. And we all know how that worked out.

    So I've posted a video much more conducive to the Christmas Spirit!
