I just don’t understand why so many people go broke trying to buy Christmas gifts. I have several friends who have kids and they break down and cry each year because they can’t afford a Playstation or the latest pair of Jordan’s for their child. They are in competition with other family members and they literally go broke trying to keep up with the Jones.
I can understand that people like to give during the holidays, and nobody wants to see their child sad during Christmas. But I really feel the true meaning of Christmas has been forgotten. It’s not about the new flat screen TV and the lastest Coach purse. Sure, we all like nice things but why do people let materialistic things control their lives? I buy gifts for my mother, brother, grandmother and maybe my father. My husband doesn’t celebrate holidays so I don’t have to worry about him. But either way, I am not going to spend bill money or lose my mind because I can’t buy them a gift. If I can I can, if I can’t I can’t.
