    Today, little man went off to school wearing green. It is "Grinch Day" for the 1st graders. They are watching The Grinch movie, eating grinch food, and having alot of fun this last week before Christmas Vacation. We read the Dr. Suess book, "How the Grinch Stole Christmas." Every JW & ex-JW should read that book. Reminds me of a certain religious leader who decided to ban almost every celebration under his authority on an entire group of followers. My little guy told me that he was sorry that my parents didn't let me have Christmas, made me wear fancy clothes to school every day, and never had a birthday. So, we talked about "party pooper" people. People who always see the negative in things, even good things. I turned it into a lesson to focus on the positive. He totally gets it. Anyway, i am proud parent of my little man!

    So happy we can let our children enjoy the "normal" activities of childhood we missed. My parents joined the cult when I was 10, so don't what is worse: never having things in the first place, or having it yanked away. (I think maybe having it yanked away?) Like your little guy, my grown up daughter always says she feels sorry for me and how I grew up missing so much.

    Sounds like "food at the proper time" to me! Just saying!
