Merry Christmas and Happy New Year's to everyone...I'm old school that way, don't say Happy Holidays to me, I'm like what do you mean? Which holiday are we talking about? and they're usually confused or surprised by my response...'oh you know the end of year holidays we don't want to offend anyone.' That actually happened...everyone's so ready to be offended. Personally, there's no better feeling than loading up the family, going to the Christmas Tree farm or the local boy scouts who have pre-cut trees, getting hot cocoa, the whole deal. America is a melting pot of different customs but I choose to pass on tradition to my kids.
