But That's Just Me

Holidays I don't understand. Oh yea! Some of them I do or most of them. Labor day, no. What does Labor Day mean? You get three days off for having a job? What about the people that don't have jobs. What do they celebrate? Do they celebrate not working?
Are we supposed to think that old man winter is not heading our ways as fast as he can get here and maybe, just maybe, if we or I could have worked those three extra days I could have paid my whole gas bill in December or not have had to have put as much on my credit card at Christmas!!!! But that's just me!!! Oh! Let's not forget Columbus Day and goodness sake we all remember National Boss day. I'm sure there are lots of people out there who would like to have a boss to remember on National Boss Day!!! But that's just me!!!!
Halloween's coming up. That's for children dressing up making funny faces and running from house to house and begging candy. Now even that is getting scary with all the weirdos putting strange things in our children's candy bags and you tell them over and over again don't eat anything till I can go over it in the bright light of our kitchens!!!!But that's just me!!!!! Veterans Day is a special day for me. I lost a twenty three year old brother in Vietnam and I salute all veterans of any age or war maybe to be politically correct I should say conflict!!! But that's just me!!!

Thanksgiving is or was very special for me till mom passed away. She was the glue that held our family together. Now I find myself forgetting that this is the day we are to eat turkey and exchange names then for our next holiday!!!! But that's just me!!!! I guess you know what's next. Christmas. What do I say? Is it a religious holiday or is it all about Santa Claus, buying gifts for people you barely remember their first name let alone their last and heaven forbid you have to send your gift. You're not even sure what state they live in. Please don't think of me as a scrooge. I'm not but my children and siblings live so far from me. Well Christmas is what you make it!!!! But that's just me!!!! I could go on with the beginning of the next holiday, New Year's Eve and we all make resolutions. I'm going to lose ten pounds. I'm going to quit smoking, I'm going to work on my relationship with John, Mary, Jack or Bill, ect. ect. ect and ninety nine percent of us or I never do!!!! But that's just me!!! I could go on and on but all holidays mean something different to everyone so I wish all a happy holiday when ever it is!!!! But that's just me!!!!!
