The memories from my childhood replay as if it was yesterday. Putting up the tree, making cookies, the glow as we sat by the fire. The caroling, the smiling and the celebration of the birth of Jesus. Wow, how times have changed. It seems we're too busy to sit and enjoy some little things that only come only at Christmas.
In todays world, we're too busy making sure we get everything on the wish lists of our kids. (I guess that whole element of surprise thing isn't all I remembered it to be.) Whether it's an Elmo, an Xbox or a Wii, we have to get it at all cost. Thrown out the window is the true meaning, the time spent with family, and the true spirit within. No one has time for a short hello because we're out shopping and shoving and spending galore. What happened? When did we stop caring?
Just once I'd like for Christmas to be a time of no hassle. Just a simple special holiday for all to enjoy together. Maybe it's time we took the reins and made our kids see the holidays as they can be ,so they can also share our memories.
