We all love Christmas! The highly anticipated holiday is upon us...the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ! Alleluia!!! It is a very festive and joyful occasion where families and friends meet and have parties! What is different with this Christmas and the years gone by?
For starters, even though the economy is something to be desired, people are still spending as seen at the ringing of registers at the malls and any other stores! Unemployment is still high, but Christamas does not deter them to spend a little! After all, Christmas comes just once a year!
When a person is really young, the anticipation of Christmass is huge because of the toys that the child can play with! That is tight, I like going to my godparents and getting toys, not money! Teenage years...no more toys...gadgets, money, car! Yes, it is money time...to go shopping with friends..endless hours at the mall! Adulthood....good job, homes, nice car etc....Work! Work! Work! You are extremely blessed and lucky if you have someone to care for your children while at work! Retirees....to live healthy, be able to walk, sleep, go out and enjoy life with no holds barred! Can wake up any time you want, no time clock, no one to tell you what to do! You can do whatever you want any time, anyplace! Which category are you????
How about the family gatherings? Those were the precious years..endless talk, singing, pictures, drama, skits! Those were the really happy, fun days! As everyone grow older...families disintegrate... some goes to other places in search of their future. It is harder now to get together again because of family and economic restraints. What is one to do? Make the most of it! After all, it is Christmas!
Time to make preparations and the last minute shopping! Come on, guys..while it is nice, bright and early!!!!
