• Could it be that the older something gets the less it is worth?
• Of course, I am beginning to feel that way myself, as I get older. (Thanks, Uncle Sam.)
• As a purist, I would like to celebrate a holiday for once without all of the rigmarole and shenanigans. A holiday where nobody will pester me. A holiday where I can shut out the world and enjoy the comforts of home and family.

• If I have not offended anybody up to now, let me take this a step further.
• It would be nice to have a holiday when all media would shut down. No television. No radio. No telephone or cell phone. No Internet.
• I know I am a radical, but I think it would be nice some time just to close out the world and remember the things that have value.
• Even Jesus understood this in his time. "And he said unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while: for there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat" (Mark 6:31 KJV).
• Therefore, I would like all of these things to hop along let me enjoy the things that really have value to me before I simply come apart.
