		<description>mel---I'm not sure exactly who your comments were directed at but just so you know, sometimes there is more to the story and maybe you should not be quite so quick to judge.

In my case I suffered a very severe trauma at Christmas time that very nearly killed me---I have PTSD, and Christmas music and decorations are huge triggers for me---they cause terrible nightmares and flashbacks, among other things. 

If you had been through half of what I have in my life you might learn a whole new meaning of "man up"....and you would also have learned a lot more compassion.</description>

		<description>When The Salvation Army Bell Ringer at Walgreens said "Have a Merry Christmas to me as I was leaving tonight, I said, "Yeah, maybe....If I get drunk enough."    

True story.

He kinda laughed a little....but I actually wasn't really kidding.</description>
