Christmas Commercialism!
When I was growing up, Christmas was my favorite holiday… Till the season to be jolly.
Now Christmas is a total nightmare!What ever happened to Christmas is about Christ?
Americans spend 450 billion dollars during Christmas each year. Yet many realize its just as important to give back as it is to get.
There is nothing wrong with people going out and spending money on Christmas gifts for their families and friends. I buy things for my family that they need…school clothes, toys and shoes. We can do this and give to the poor as well. God is not in heaven wringing his hands hoping that there will be enough money coming in to help the poor. It is not a sin to enjoy your own family.
My only concern is that christmas has just become just that shopping and party and that is it.
We need to also use this days to reflect on our lives and and focus on “What is really Important”?
God has given us the opportunity to enjoy these days with our loved ones and to also take out a minute or two to look around us and see what is really Important, Is it the Conspiracy of the shopping industries to make us spend more while they get richer or is it the loving of one another and helping the need.
