Ok, it's Christmas. Some (most) of us cherish the photographic memories that brighten our spirits and keep fading memories fresh in our minds. For others, this obviously matters less. I say, to each his own but what I fail to comprehend is why you seem to have this compelling need to make anything that you don't personally subscribe to (or didn't originate with you), a negative thing. It's like, if YOU don't do it, then it's bad. Hey, get in the Christmas spirit, you don't have to pour cold water on everyone else's pleasures. There are more ways to view the world than just how you see everything (ex. - memorize all lyrics, "I don't need no stinkin' lyrics sheet".....and neither should you). Or always enthusiastically encouraging people to buy stuff they either can't afford, don't necessarily want, or have made clear they don't need. We've seen how well that works out for you. AND MOST OF ALL, for someone that doesn't see the need for pictures or cameras or videocams, who is it that MOST asks other members to "take pictures or videos". One guess .

Donny, you are a man of contradictions, but hey, it's Christmas so have a good one and watch those calories (you DO want to stay photogenic, right? ). And if anything exciting happens, make sure to 'take pictures or videos'.

Happy holidays,
