It's the most wonderful time

...of the year.  Or so they say.  The way I look at it, good times are what you make of the time you spend with your friends and family.  Either you're going to constantly look at their shortcomings and become bitter and hateful, or you're going to overlook those things and try to have an enjoyable experience.  It can be so easy to get caught up in what's wrong with people rather than what's RIGHT.  I know I am guilty of that at times.  For most people, the holidays are about the only time of year when they actually see their families.  I say it's time to take advantage of the time that we DO have together and celebrate rather than ridicule.
