Christmas time

Now that the gift season has moved in people are standing in hour lines, killing each other for the closet parking spot and spending money that they don't have. If you think about that don't you think there is something wrong with that picture? The holidays are a time for love,giving and joy not the time of stress to get that last minute Christmas gift or the bills that come along with it. I think people should see that even if its fun to open that huge box and pull out the shirt you always wanted you should think how important it is to spend time with your family. To think of all the great memories you have had together over the year and to share a small gift with each other, I think if everyone looked at the real word of Holiday and did what it meant, it would stop all the stress and it would bring back the joy instead of the stress it puts onto people. As I looked around as I go shopping for my family I see all the things that don't want to be thought of over the holidays. This year I hope to just let my family know how much I love them and how much joy the new year will bring.
