Why do so many people beleive that Christmas is solely about the money we spend?
I've been saying this for years as do many people in the comments of this article. http://bit.ly/sFVEIX
Why isn't it about being close to family and friends and enjoying each others company? It's virtually the only time of year that we really stop what we're doing and make this happen as we're always "too busy".
Don't get me wrong it's nice to open up a gift or two and more importantly watching the children's eyes light up when they open their gifts! However, I would really like to see it go back to even when I was a kid. I did look forward to the presents, more importantly I looked forward to the big party in the evenings where we all got together and played as kids!
I guess I can keep dreaming and do my best to make sure my two little girls understand the true meaning :)
On a side note:
I particularly enjoy reading when big banks talk about this sort of thing. And quite honestly, I feel bad for the not so smart people who beleive what the banks say and beleive they have more money and spend more...all on the banks credit etc. More interest money for them!
