I was recently talking to a friend about the over-commercialization and too much Christmasing for all the wrong reasons. I related how when there's too much---the kids don't even know who it's all from. I told her we were cutting back and going to focus more on family, the time spent together, etc. She said that her family had also done the same thing. Then she said, "After all---the three Wise Men only brought three gifts". I liked that and it helped me put my Christmas in a better perspective.
I too have enjoyed reading all the posts on this thread. It's nice to know that there are so many who truly understand the meaning of Christmas.
My reason for posting is a little different and I hope I'm not intruding. I know we live in different states and the laws may not be the same, but here in CA it is illegal to lay-off, fire or otherwise unemploy someone without paying them what is owed to them - including vacation pay. When the company I worked for hired a new supervisor I had to work a lot of overtime. I tried to talk with them about it but got nowhere, so I eventually filed a complaint with the State Labor Relations Board. They were very helpful in speaking with my employer and resolving the issue. After about a month of phone calls I received a check for all my back overtime (almost 8 months worth). I'm sure Utah has a similar Dept that could help your husband get what is rightfully his.
Wishing you all the blessings of the season.
