Christmas Review

with the economy of today, i find the commercialism of christmas very distressing.  i see parents are forced to make purchases of expensive clothing and toys to please their children's peer pressure lifestyle. 

seems to be dictating a meaning to the season which is based on the dollar, not the spirit for which this season really stands.

i, myself, refused to be sucked into this circle of madness and choose to celebrate as our forefathers did, with simplicity.
