Naturally, I loved that. Later various events pushed me away from the holiday, and it became a sore spot. In recent years, though, I've engineered my own feelings about it. Using it as a reminder to express good will to the most unfortunate and to those I care about is a good idea. In a way it's like Valentine's Day.
