Actually, the holidays are not my favorite time of the year.

Wild? Everybody pays for things they don't "need." Or we'd be on a subsistence economy!

My mother's brother died in a car crash on December 23, 1956, driving down from West Virginia to DC to see her -- and me. I was a newborn. It took a long time before anybody in Mom's family could enjoy the holidays again.

You know I have started a few traditions of my own to try to get me in the holiday mood.

I don't understand what you're saying.

I pay for lots of things I don't need. In fact, I'd say the great majority of my expenses are things I don't need.


I could live in a 2-bd apartment, drive a crap car, eat rice and beans every night for dinner, wear only clothes from Goodwill ...


But, instead, I choose to have a pleasurable life which includes paying for cable television, high speed internet, stylish (if not expensive) clothes, a new car, an ipod, a 4-bd house, dinner out occasionally, groceries that include things like salmon and goat cheese, video games ....

That's what I'm familiar with. Big tips a couple times a year-- at Christmas and when you pay your bill.
