I don`t get too gung ho for holidays either but this article take with others by her reveal a demented,snotty little rich girl that is very shallow.
Getting ones way politically is a very small element of living and these libs who are catatonic over the rejection of their views are just laughable.
I actually go for Christmas in a big way. I start listening to Christmas music on November 1 and I have most of my lights up by Thanksgiving. And they don't come down until Super Bowl Sunday. It's always a tradition in my house to take down the Christmas lights the day of the Super Bowl. Having them up so long helps us get through the cold, long winter nights. It's hard to feel depressed with all those lights! By the time they come down, the days are getting noticeably longer and most of the winter is over.
I don't go for all the commercialism and "rush-rush" of Christmas. I take it easy this time of year and slow down. Many nights, I'll sit in front of the roaring fireplace and blinking Christmas tree with a cup of egg nog and listen to some Christmas music. Too bad folks like Maureen Dowd are too miserable to appreciate this time of year.
