So true! Commercialism has definitely taken over "all" the holidays. What used to be celebrated simply, has now turned into something far removed. I prefer quiet holidays without the holiday hype associated with it. Shopping, ha, don't need any more stuff at 70 and you're right, getting rid of accumulated stuff makes me much happier than getting more to clutter up my home. We took a walkabout and thought to ourselves how peaceful it was to get outside and enjoy the nice day. No football for us, just being grateful to enjoy each other. The turkey was sooooooooo good! Have a great December @denmarkguy.
