todays Christmas

what happened to Christmas?

its all about the shoppers, shopping and gifts.

is anyone else concerned with the craziness of people getting into fights, the rudeness and desperation to buy gifts?

it's almost not even enjoyable anymore. Christmas is getting worse each year and further from what it's really about. Let's start over and celebrate the birth of Christ, spend more time with family and less ripping wrapping paper open.

at work the other night i heard the worst Christmas song of my life. it was a version of 12 days of Christmas except its called

12 Pains of Christmas
1. finding a Christmas tree
2. Rigging up the lights
3. Hangovers
4. Sending Christmas cards
5. Five months of bills
6. Facing my in-laws
7. The Salvation Army
8. whining and charities
9. Finding parking spaces
10. Batteries not included
11. Stale TV specials
12. Singing Christmas carols

Pathetic. complaining about Christmas, is this what its about? unfortunately some people think so.

i enjoy getting Christmas cards! my future in-laws are awesome! and i like Christmas songs! but all the shopping and things that go with it, no thank you.

just remember to be thankful for the reason we celebrate Christmas. and for the gifts you do receive.
