| Seasonings Greeting |
Seasonings Greeting! We wish you all a Merry Happy Kwanzaa Christmas, Hanukkah, Yule, Solstice, Saturnalia... or whatever other observance you practice this time of year.
May you and yours celebrate joyously, relish each others company, and avoid the commercialization and trivialization of all we hold dear at this time, and all year round.
Love and kindness are free - let's spread that stuff around. It is the best.
And may all your seasonings be fresh and friendly.
Gregg and Linda
Oh no, three people I gave me presents! I didn't give them anything...maybe next year they'll see I meant it when I said 'please not gifts'. Have a good one folks!
ReplyDeleteIt's happened to me every year, even though I've told them over and over I don't want gifts. All I can do is say thank you and remind them again later, that I really mean what I say!
DeleteWhat do you give someone that has everything they need? Nothing. Or food. Food is good. This is a good time of year to share a meal.
DeleteSage to you turmeric and a happy nutmeg! ;-) Thank you for always reminding me what's important in this life. Here's hoping that more people will continue to wake up and realize that they can make a difference in this world by embracing and appreciating the simple things. Happiness always!!
ReplyDeleteHere's happiness to you and yours in 2016. I am sure it will be a spicy year.
DeleteGregg and Linda- Wishing you a wonderful season celebration and an abundant (in the things that matter) New Year!
ReplyDeleteSame to you, Miss Marla. Thank you so much for sticking with us over the years, and contributing regularly. It is great to have you with us.
DeleteHello Gregg and Linda, i whish you an happy new year !
ReplyDeleteI am a French student and i have a work to do about consumerism and how people can consume without buying and i find this subject very interesting. I was making some research and i found your blog.
I have some questions for you, i hope it doesn't bother you (you don't have to answer if you don't want to):
- How do you live without buying ? is it with gardening ? do you practice swap ?
- Do you consider yourselves as consumers even if you don't buy ?
Thank you for your time,
Chloé Masselin
Chloe,
DeleteThank you for your excellent questions. Please allow me to think about them for a bit. I will do a post in the next couple of days, and hopefully answer them all.
Thank you !
DeleteHave a good day
Dear Greg and Linda, Happy holidays. As a long time reader and rereader of your writings I just wanted to say thank you . I still struggle with consumerism but you keep me on track. I look forward to every blog. I am so grateful to you both. You have been life changing. Jlynn
DeleteChloe, your questions made me think a lot. I am glad you asked them. I will reply too in comments on Gregg's post where he answers your questions. See his post on December 30, 2015 titled, "Getting What You Need"
DeleteThis is a hard time of year for me. I've missed being active here and missed all of you. Hope you are enjoying your winter days in this exceptionally warm weather. Best to all.
ReplyDeleteTerri,
DeleteIf one is sensitive to consumer craziness, this time of year can be a challenge. Hope you are getting through it all. Take comfort in knowing that the madness tends to slow again once the festive frenzy is over. We notice when you aren't around, and miss your contributions.
jlynn,
ReplyDeleteYour comment represents a beautiful gift at this time of year. Our weather is getting cold right now, and we find your kind words to be most warming. We are honoured to have been taken into your life, and are happy that you took the time to let us know. We endeavour to keep ourselves (and you) on track in the new year. Together we forward in simplicity.
