What I think

 how you anticipate something so much that it almost seems sad when it is over?

 Is it just a sign that Christmas is becoming just another day. That people spend money they don't have on things other people don't want. Just a day off from work?  I am struggling with getting the very few I will be sending out. But they will go out. This year Christmas seems hard, more of a chore than a joy. I am trying to get back to the fun and the magic but it just is not there.

 or an email with' I hate to say this but' maybe you shouldn't say it. Just sayin'

 I don't know who this congressman is who got himself kicked out of congress but it seems to me he should actually be convicted of a crime before that happened. What happened to innocent until proven guilty. Seems his colleagues, who claim to know the laws of the land, should have grown a spine and stood up for this principal. Or a case of the pot calling the kettle black. Maybe no one will notice their own 'crimes' if they throw this guy to the wolves
