Replies to '12/13 Holiday Horror Stories'

Maybe theyre not carrying the negative feelings but constantly being labelled as a scrooge, party pooper, etc b/c they're not into the "Giftmas" spirit.  I go into it pretty neutral but get bombarded w/ the commercialism and the 1-sided view of ppl who cant understand those who dont get ecstatic about it.  I'm glad I came to this board b/c there are many here who seem to understand my view.  Nobody I know personally shares my views and a few barely understand it.  I think its sufficient when ppl behave themselves for their family and shouldnt be given negative comments b/c they dont get giddy over the Holidays.
