I love Christmas time. My family gets to get together and eat a bunch of good food, exchange a few Christmas presents, and just hang out watching videos of when my brothers and I were younger. It's always a nice reminder of how blessed I am to have my family.
To me, Christmas really isn't about getting exactly what I want or cooking the perfect meal. Sure, I like to get expensive things for Christmas that I wouldn't normally be able to convince my mom to buy for me, but if I don't get it, I'm not disappointed. I like to buy small gifts for my family, and I know they like them just because I thought of them. It's not like I have to spend a million dollars on everyone at Christmas. And I don't want them to spend a ton of money on me either. I would much rather have them bake me some cookies and come over and eat them and spend time with me. I guess I'm simple like that.
I hate what Christmas has become. All the shopping and fighting and people DYING trying to find the perfect gift. I mean, the lines on "Black Friday" are ridiculous, all for a sale. Why buy the expensive gift in the first place? Where are the gifts from the heart? Sometimes, it makes me sick. I want anyone who reads this to take a step back from all this holiday rushing and just be thankful for what you have for a moment. Sheesh.
