I'm not looking forward to the holidays this year. Does that make me a scrooge?

It has nothing to do with it. So no.

Nah. If you're a Scrooge then so am I. We celebrated Christmas big time while the kids were growing up but we don't need to do that any more. These days it's just an inconvenience.

Here's a little verse that one of my friends once wrote. (I can't remember all of it but you'll get the idea.)

I hope it rains on Christmas eve,
I hope it rains like heck:
So Santa Claus will prang his sleigh
And break his bloody neck.

I hope it rains on Christmas day,
I hope it bloody pours:
So all those rotten little kids
Will have to stay indoors.

There's a lot more of it than that but it gets even more depressing as it goes on.

You're not a scrooge Ravin.....i never look forward to the holidays either.
