The Plainclothes Clown

...that you need to take a step back and realize that not everyone is a booze-head where they only celebrate love and peace once a year. Some of us try and spread a bit of that around all year round. Of course, I'd love to shower my loved ones with gifts year round...can't afford that though. Some years, I can barely do that at Christmas. But I don't think that the holiday is only about commercialism...it's about the one time of year when people can relax a little from the normal every day stress and bullshit that they put themselves through.
