I'd say astrology works as the Sun enters my second house on 24th and the second house is the house of material things amongst other aspects... Anyway, for me it's a lot easier to buy lots of stuff for people I love than would be to say "I love you" to them. See, I was raised without hugs and verbal expressions of affection as were most people at that time, so I think I've said "I love you" out loud just once, I was 16 then and it was a boy I was heavily in love with... LOL . Embarrassing. He didn't even reply. He had just broken up with his girlfriend and had wanted to have some comfort from me, in a physical ways of course =)) =))<BR/><BR/>Yeah, I-love-you's are hard to come by here and there's no way I could say it out loud to my kids or anyone else. Too bad.<BR/><BR/>Oh, did I mention that I'm not religious at all, never been. So Christmas is really about breaking the darkest time of the year, having good meals and giving gifts. The famous "Christmas spirit" lives in my heart year-round but I'm unable to let it shine through.<BR/><BR/>As for present capitalisic societies taking a 180 grades turn just because it's reasonable - there's no way to it! But I'm sure soon enough we all will be forced to. It's almost ridiculous to see how people try to think that the present low is temporary. It's not temporary, it just can't be. There's simply too many people on Earth, hords of consumers who probably even can't change their habits anymore... The money shots that the governments give to the banks and other financial gangs are more like morphine shots to a dying person. <BR/>I think some great catastrophy will happen and put an end to it, so those who survive (if any?) will be given a chance to rethink their ways. <BR/><BR/>Happy new year!
