So it will be just the two of us this year—imperfect people doing our best to honor the pagan ideal of "perfect love and perfect trust."

So you're celebrating perfect love and perfect trust - but only with one other person because you can't stand the hassle of getting together with the other pagans celebrating perfect love and perfect trust?

Sorry, I don't mean to be rude. I really don't. But isn't that just a bit hypocritical?
