| Commentary by Robert On community meals for the holidays Getting together with local community for Christmas might
be better than traveling to be with traditional families that are
spread out all over the world. Think about spending the holidays in places like the
snowed-in
Denver Airport Terminal, not on purpose, but the "S" word
happens. One can define the "S" word several ways. Snow is
one word starting with S. "White Christmas" may be the most
popular Christmas song, but it's writers didn't have the Denver Airport
in mind. Nor did they have I-5 on the Sunday just after
Thanksgiving where I hear that it took 5 hours for some folks to get
from Burlington to Bellingham. In many cases, traditional family gatherings are good,
but it is nice to know there are alternatives. Happy Holidays 2006 and try not to sweat it.
Christmas can be a rat race, but it can also be a good time of
year. It doesn't have to be the same tradition for
everyone. You can innovate to make it enjoyable. Also see: Why Halloween is safer than Christmas. |
