Stabbsworth, That it is. I mean, I'm all for well wishing of any kind but especially during Christmas when ALL THE PEOPLE wish you 'Merry Christmas' then get annoyed or even outright offended when you don't say it back or instead say 'Happy Holidays' it gets really old really quick. Also, I love fall. I love Halloween and Thanksgiving b/c I love food and like, can we have those holidays with out already busting out the Christmas stuff in stores in October?

Trystan, you've mentioned the UU Fellowship full moon meet up before, I'm glad you'll at least get to attend one more before you leave. To have that opportunity to say goodbye at least and get contact info of anyone you may want to stay in touch with. I'm sure it's not at the top of your list with all the things you have to do in moving but just out of curiosity have you scoped out the area of where you're moving to see what the pagan community is like there?

I don't know if any of you ever used or went on a site called the witches voice or witchvox for short but it was amazing and super helpful. I think it went down a couple or few years ago but you could have a profile on there and post writings and poetry as well as search for people, clergy, groups, events and ect by city and state. It was really helpful in that aspect. I'm really sad it's gone now though.

Jester, Oh cool. Did you make the spider costume yourself or lucked out in finding one you liked somewhere?

Sorry to hear you're struggling with a few things at the moment. I hope it lightens up and gets easier for you soon.

Work and life in general can definitely derail good plans for celebrating. I haven't celebrated the sabbats nearly as much I'd like to have or in a grand fashion as I'd like in quite a few years. I do small little simple things anymore but one of my goals for the next couple of years is to find ways to make time to do things I really used enjoy, like celebrating my faith more. Work just has to calm the fuck down for that to happen and that's a been a slow process but starting to see a light at the end of the tunnel on that front.

Oh wow, I'm so sorry to hear you had to deal with that, that's crazy. People suck so much. I mean blah blah blah yeah there's still some good in the world but also a lot of people just really such and like, a lot. Then again we've another deadline coming up at work and I start to get jaded and bitter at the world when stressed and exhausted lol.
