@Jen -
I like to think the posts get better from here. :) And there was more I could say that I didn’t have time to add, so I hope you will ask me questions if you have them. -C

Thank you for helping us at the Comfort Cafe and also for helping me. I haven’t been a mainstream media person for years and don’t have any contact with the madness – I live on an island! But the need for magic is still there. The desire to find meaning with my weird mixed family. So looking forward to the rest of your posts!

@Barbara
Set up to fail is so right! (maybe it’s so we buy more thinking that will fix it?) -C

@Christine -
It’s tricky to go first, but someone has to, right? I’m glad your family has followed. Finding the essence is so much more enjoyable than the madness. -C

Adding my voice to the chorus of “Just say No!” … How did it ever get to this level of frustation, insanity and set-up-to-fail?!

Cairene,
I have refused to participate in the madness for a number of years. At first family was a bit miffed, but over time, they have joined and found relief also. We are so much closer to the essence of the season now.
