Just trying to shake off the tyranny of a so-called holiday. What can be positive about a day of celebration that depends so much on exclusion? Named after a Saint no less? Christmas has been homegenized to the point that almost anyone can take part. St. Patrick's day is probably lousy for recovering alcoholics, I'd guess. Valentine's day taunts the single folk, most of whom cannot understand why nobody wants to be with them in the first place. I try to be indifferent, but apparently...that's not working, is it?
