I am so over commercialism. Down with it all! After Thanksgiving dinner, while the kids we playing, the adults sat around the dining room table discussing future holidays. She that maybe instead of exchanging gifts one Christmas, we all take a cruise instead? I almost spit out my wine! She said that with what she spends on Christmas gift giving she could easily spend on a cruise. What the fuck is she talking about? Who spends $5,000 on presents?!! Even if I could afford it, I would never, ever waste that kind of money. I just think that is rediculous! I'm not religious, but I don't believe Christmas is about the mall or a Plasma tv. I like the idea of friends and family and holiday traditions. I like a mother and her children baking Christmas cookies and a family going outside and getting their tree. If it wasn't for my kids, I would be happy with a material giftless Christmas.
maryjanemama Reviewed by maryjanemama on . Favorite thing about Christmas. I love the light displays everywhere and snow {if we ever get any here in TX, lol}. I also love the smell of baking ,decorations and the tree. Of course then there are the gifts. :) It is a wonderful time of celebration! :) :) Rating: 5
