Hello Christmas
Lovers
I really love Christmas the smells and wintery
themes of snowmen , snowflakes, sleigh bells & warm cracking fires. Living
in North America for most of my life becoming accustom to those things.
Moving to a warmer
climate to marry and raise my family I find it difficult to enjoy the same type
of things I associate to Christmas. It's been 10 years since I moved here and
so much want to enjoy but find it hard not having those warm fuzzy feelings. My
family is the most important part and I realize that but want to capture that spirit
I had back home in America. All the songs are geared for winter holly and
mistletoe.
I want to hear about the summer things people
enjoy that makes Christmas. I've tried for years to make a summer themed
christmas tree but I find it so hard because all we see in the stores are Santa’s
in big red suits or snowmen. Why!!??? Is it because there isn't a market for it?
Is it that most who are in the warmer climates just do not celebrate like other
parts of the world? One of our traditions is to ride around counting trees we
could see in the houses and playing Christmas CD’s in the car singing as loud
as possible. The person who counted the most by the end of the night won. Sadly
because where I live it’s not dark until 8 or 9 in the evening. Also hardly
anyone decorates one out of maybe 10 houses if lucky. I find most here revolt
in commercialism of Christmas. Just today on the news a local department store who has had a
huge Santa in the downtown area decided it was not in the budget to put up this
year. Santa Story Here Well thank god the people who love Christmas came
together to save it. Why and how do we as
Christmas Lovers get those that
don't understand why it’s important to
have traditions.
Only 62 days until
Christmas 2014
