    A few holidays a year are better than 1,000 days elsewhere in Jehovah's Witness courtyards.

    "A few holidays a year are better than 1,000 days elsewhere in Jehovah's Witness courtyards." LOL I like that! Personally, I absolutely love holidays. My kids think I'm nuts because I decorate for almost every holiday. But I guess to each his own.

    I actually only know the main three, myself. Christmas, New Years and the 4th of July. So I stick to those three, oh yeah and black Friday, which I can always back track and find Thanksgiving.

    Holidays and birthdays are tough on the finances. They sure are fun, though!

    When I "returned to my vomit" and left the borg I decided to celebrate at least 3 days a year:

    1) April Fools

    2) Halloween

    3) Thanksgiving

    The rest is hit or miss.
