Christmas is coming

and of the past 37+ I have only had to deal with three or four ashore.

Thank God.

In the service I managed to get some kind of duty for two (that I remember. Maybe it was all three) out of my three Christmases I survived while in uniform. 

For some reason Christmases are not to be enjoyed, but survived. I do not do well with Christmas. 

Thanksgiving is my holiday. 

I was going to get into this here but I think I'll keep my reasons to myself.

I might say something later on. The jury is out.
