Tonks:
'Norm' means what is commonly accepted as what the average person
does, or what the majority of people do. And the culture that I love
at Christmas use to be the norm almost everywhere in the U.S. If you
are 56, you remember that. Unless you have always lived in
California. The culture that I knew in my youth is gone, and I can't
say that it is being replaced with something better. ;-(
