It is time that people realize what Christmas really is. Doesn't it feel liberating to not have to be part of the greed & commercialism that overshadows the birth of Jesus Christ ? We don't do the hoopla with gifts. We gather together at our home, have a great meal, play games, talk, eat some more. I just want my family where I can love on them. As I get older, there are smiles and laughter missing from our group because those people have gone on ahead to wait for us who remain. Try to celebrate Christmas this way and you will see a difference. People will be relieved that the pressure is off to shop and spend money that is getting harder to come by. People survived the 1930's and so can we.
