i really do like christmas..and my mom is my best friend... been away from home 8 years now and still talk to her on the phone every day. so i like to be there. i like to make the trip.

geo, as i mentioned in another thread, is the worst road tripper EVER, and he turns into the creature from the black lagoon on road trips. he's evil, because his real life (tv..computer games...ya know, THAT life) gets pushed aside.

i don't intend to compete, and i don't like it when others do...did you guys see my big fat greek wedding? that family is JUST like mine. looooooooooots of people, a million different dramas and traumas. still, it's my family, and i wouldn't trade it.

it's only the PRE-christmas stuff that i hate...the jockeying with egos. i like the shopping (if i can do it early) and that gives me time to make cookies, to attend advent services, to read the night before christmas to my daughter, to make lists to santa...i like all that. i don't care when it starts in the stores, because i'm always shopping by october anyway..not because i'm commercialized, but because i love giving gifts..good gifts. (not pricey, but well-thought, and memorable.)
