Christmas, where are you?
Me I LOVE Christmas the lights
the trees anything and everything to do with it. I’m from the United States
where it’s all the way or nothing on Christmas. Moving away from my family 11 years
ago and moving to a place that its summer during Christmas took some getting used
to. My traditions and those of my family seem to clash om Christmas I put
my Christmas music on and do my thing
with the help of my oldest daughter.
I get the excuse from
hubby “ it’s just not how we do it here”
Ok where I live now I feel a big push
against any form of holiday and
especially Christmas and those saying it’s
commercialized just to make money. For me it’s not about the gifts it never
really was except when I was a child. It’s about doing things as a family
decorating and laughing. Having a feasts that you normally wouldn’t have but
for the holiday. Having a family to share this exciting time with. Most celebrate
the birth of Jesus, even though he wasn’t born until June or July < if I’m
not mistaken>. But hey it’s all good. To me it’s also about celebrating Life
of both living & dead. Appreciating all those that you love and love you. It’s
about living another year and having a roof over your head and a bed to sleep
in.
Now I want to tackle the “money”
commercialization of Christmas. I think we all have our vises and we each enjoy
buying things that make us happy. Well mine is Christmas I love the lights and the
songs. OK so call me the crazy Christmas lady. But please don’t rain on my
parade enjoy your family wear those ugly sweaters put up with obnoxious uncle
Al or Sally, eat more than you should and live life like Jesus would want or
whatever god or goddess to praise. Make Dec. 25th a Day to be
thankful and count your blessings because it could be your last one to enjoy.
