well just back from the family get together and my obligations for christmas are passed and done....it's not that i get depressed this time of year...merely bored....in many ways christmas has evolved into a holiday for the young....and i can't seem to generate any emotion at all for it anymore.....not the religious meaning but the hoopla that it has become.....i guess old fuddy-duddy trollie should just stay under the bridge this time of year but one needs to attend to what is expected....at least some of the time
