I hate the holidays. It has all become forced and meaningless. Just want to enjoy the cooler weather. Wear sweaters and drink hot chocolate. No way - must do Thanksgiving and endure Christmas. Well, there is pumpkin pie and hot toddies. I do put a splash of peppermint schnapps in my hot chocolate. Yes, I am off to buy Christmas gifts and thinking what I can bring to Thanksgiving dinner — sigh.
