the day before thanksgiving, I declared to be 24 hours of Hallmark Ch. Christmas movies! and I did it. through all the preparations. even introduced my next door daughter-in-law to it. :-) the same, even thanksgiving morning, before we went to son's.
I needed a break. needed to stay in a place, which was sure to be gentle and decorated and always a happy ending. I need it.
when there is nothing we individuals can do, about the woes of the world, why can't we take a break from them? this, need not make us feel guilty. spoiling our joy/peace of mind/etc., will not do anything for all those people who don't have it. we can't slice off a bit of our happiness, and pass it on, as it were.
so yes... the gentle season.... sounds good to me.
