So it's ten more days to go until christmas..... The more I age the more I begin to despise the whole commercialized version of Christmas.... Everybody rushing around trying to find "the perfect gift" for everyone in your family and your extended family. It has become a holiday for the credit card companies. Another thing for people to worry about... I think we should just make the Christmas holiday more like Thanksgiving. Families get together and enjoy each others company, and if you are religious, give thanks to God....
But. I am not holding breath in having any hope that things will ever change. Money and material possessions are what make the world go round.... We work to get more "stuff". And as we are getting more stuff our entire life is passing us by. We lose huge chunks of time chasing after things that are not going to make a damn bit of difference to us twenty years down the road. I don't have a solution to the problem and I don't know if most people would even agree that it is a problem. It just seems sad that we spend our lives chasing after things that add very little to our growth as individuals.... whatever that means. Merry Christmas...  ¶ 3:35 PM
