No, I'm not a Scrooge, but I so long for a simpler, happier Christmastime. A place where not every t.v., radio station, store clerk & billboard doesn't scream 'Buy me, Buy me, Buy me!' I am so sick of the greediness, too. Now we should buy Visa Gift cards, so people can get what they REALLY want? Why don't we just give evryone a $50 bill and be done with it then? The t.v. makes even the sweetest kid seem like a selfish little brat when all you here is " and I want............for Christmas" The commercials bombard the kids and teens with 100s of things they 'need'. And since when is it okay to ask for a $200-400 gift? (video systems and the like). I thought gift-giving was in remeberance of the gifts given to the Newborn Babe? Aren't gifts supposed to be given by the giver to show love & appreciation? Not demanded by the receiver? Why do so many houses have giant Santas in front w/a million lights, but no stable? Is there a place where Christmas is still simple & revered? :(
