I hear what you are saying soledad.

I am not one to spoil anyone's fun, at least I hope not, but its just so commercial like xmas is, and I find it is just another thing I have to try and afford.

I can imagine it is on a very small scale in NZ, but it is starting to get bigger, when I was a child it did not even exist, and its only been here for a few years, I just don't see why we have to follow suit and copy everyone else, why celebrate it now, when it never was before.

Honestly I am not scrooge, infact I get a kick out of seeing people dressed up , on their way to parties, or trick and treating, but when I hear that black cats are subject to cruelty because of this celebration, that sends shivers up my spine and makes my blood boil, and I am sure you feel the same.

Guess I am just a party pooper after all, sigh.........
