I think this still relates even thought the holiday has passed so here goes.
Christmas.... I really don't care for this shallow holiday at all. I mean I didn't have bad christmases ( is there even a plural for that word??) when I was growing up, I mean more than likely I got what I asked for, but thats just the point I'm stressing..... why does christmas have to be about what you're going to get? When did how much did something cost and howcome this person didn't get anything for me outweigh family and friends? Like that bothers me a whole lot that, the society we live in so materialistic.
Howcome people you haven't seen in a while, such as your grandmother or other relatives you haven't seen in a while seem meaningless unless they brought something for you. and with that being, if you do get something for them they want to get upset at the fact of what they got you. There are so many people out here who get nothing for christmas, let alone see family or have a decent meal on that day, but people want to complain about what they got for christmas or the lack there of.
Doesn't anybody remember when your relatives gathered at your home or you went to thier home and had fun, like playing games, talking about old times, laughing at the stuff you did with them the last time you were together.
Christmas has no meaning to me in my heart anymore because of these reasons. It has turned into a commercial holiday for the all "important" dollar.
Go figure that.
