that not only am I a loner (with excellent social skills), but like the others, I hate all of the silliness and the potlucks and office parties, etc. I do NOT do gift exchanges, even if people think I am a Scrooge. I would rather make a donation to a food bank, etc. I despise the rampant consumerism (witness the pepper-spraying and other violence). I have no kids, anfd the rest of my family agreed to do away with all of that nonsense.

I enjoy a good emal and good wine with my family, or I am happy to spend the holiday alone, as I did this past weekend.

I think there are a lot of us out there, but many bow to societal pressures.

Everyone enjoy the rest of your holiday!
