General Ranting
General rant #1 The reason we say Happy Holidays is not because of anti-christian motives, but because our community is diverse where we have those who celebrate Chanukah or Kwanzaa. Those of us who are decent enough say happy holidays so we can wish all our brothers and sisters a joyous holiday whatever they celebrate. General rant #2 Not everyone on the public assistance is "milking the system" Yes, I now receive assistance. I also work a full time job AND still struggle to make ends meet with my new job (which was not my choice to change jobs) I have a family to feed, a mortgage to pay, and bills to meet. I try to find a balance where my kids aren't deprived of luxuries like a pizza night once in a while or figure out how Santa will make it for Christmas without spoiling them or breaking my budget. I feel bad I am now unable to do Salvation Army, or the usual 30 toys for Toys for Tots. Don't assume just because you see a SNAP card or a WIC check tha
