[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think people are more comfortable now saying "no" to things that feel like obligations vs something they really want to do. I do a get together with a few close friends. It's enjoyable with people I really like to spend time with instead of people who happen to live near me.[/quote] You are onto something here. But I think there is more to it -- I think that a casual neighborhood holiday get together will feel much more like just one more obligation these days than it used to, because everyone is stretched and overcommitted and exhausted. When I was a kid, this just wasn't the case the way it is now. [/quote]
