I'm sorry, unfinished, maybe finish later, (my right arm is killing me, ouch,gotta rest it,or put ice on it, ouch); yeah,kinda the black cloud of Xmas I am under this time, each year gets worse. When you're older, or you've just got PTSD over yer Xmases, you get to dread them. Years ago, my best friend and roommate died from AIDS, 3 days after New Years. We knew it was coming, but it was bad anyhow. My family always had horrible Xmases, too. I stopped celebrating them, and only observed Chanukah (the other part of my family) which helped a lot. I'm just NOT Christian. I do send presents, and cards, but, frankly, Xmas has always been a big black cloud, for me personally. I do not think this illustrates it well, but I'll experiment some more( put ice on my arm.) I think this is a good subject, thanks for doing it. :) I really think this is a KID'S holiday, does anyone see it that way??? (curious)

I'll work more on this later, I promise it won't look like such crap once I put some more work into it. My hand hurts.

Fear not! For behold, I proclaim to you a good and great joy that will be for all the people. (Luke 2:10)
For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ, the Lord. (Luke 2:11)

So remember guys, buy your gal a diamond for Christmas so she'll let ya do it in her butt!

it's really called "scary Xmas"cause the city of Eugene planning dept.,hid from the public,and all those living on the long residental road,River Rd.that they'll be widening the 4 lane rd,without telling anyone.(hence,the surveyors already out there.)and running to Junction City.Meaning,every resident on River Rd.gets their house chopped,front yard,ect.chopped,and their living space added to the road."Eminent domain"is very common in the united States(democracy?)and no tax payer can fight it,and win.Meaning,the govt.,local or otherwise,can take your private land,and you have no say in it.It's legal.So,Merry Xmas,I just got word(a bus driver,who knows,told me)that my front yard,maybe the front of my house,gets chopped off.I have no say in it.Great. My neighbor's next door house,is right next to the road,she'll have her house completely destroyed. whew. "Land of The Free"--free what??Great Xmas gift,Santa!!
