4. Like you, I felt this year was different |

My family is Christian, but my husband and I are not. I always donate a bit to the Salvation Army but it is in memory of a great-uncle who devoted his life to work with the poor and destitute via that institution. I've felt a pall over the holiday as I saw people struggling to have money to get presents, and people worrying about loved ones over in Iraq. I have not seen anyone smiling or gloating over Bush's election-I'm talking about physically seeing a person, not the internet. I have a feeling of impending doom as we approach 2005.
