Hey Romeclone! Thanks for wandering by to say "Hello"!

Lena...what does one say to that on a message board? Is it an astrologically-based frustration that I feel this time of year? No. Is it a religion/Jesus's birthday-based frustration? No. Is it a commercially-based, too-much-family-in-a-short-period-of-time, spending-too-much-money based frustration? You betcha!! (Just venting! Whew! Feel better....much thanks!

I think we need to rethink the proximity of the Thanksgiving holiday and the Christmas holiday. If the Thanksgiving holiday is about the harvest, is it correct in the timeframe in relation to climate? Wouldn't the first states settled have been too cold that far into November? Without any real means of storage in the days of the 1st Thanksgiving, wouldn't they have celebrated right after the growing season was over? Say early September or so...

(This would not only give more time between these 2 major holidays in the US, it would give more sanity-refractory-period-time to those dealing with insane relatives!! ROFL!

That's cool, Romeclone! That is very cool! Oh yeah, I have insane family members...lol...but, I do try to communicate AND have fun!I have found that bonding with family members (regardless of sanity) can be very rewarding...I usually find something about them that I enjoy and it helps me to understand them better and be more forgiving of their idiocyncrasies!
I am like way proud of you!! 🙂
