Christmas is such a great holiday. It’s a little different for everyone. There are great traditions that families develop over time and pass down each year.
Some of these are for the kids, others are about faith. Some people focus on the needs of others in the community and others focus on the needs of their own extended family. It’s a time of the year when people seem more likely to be selfless.
Yes, there is always a lot of rampant consumerism. Toys for the young, and the not so young, are so abundant. Electronic gadgets seem to grow on trees (or at least under them).
You may not know what will be under the tree each year but you can count on a good gathering and a good Christmas dinner.
I hope yours is wonderful.
Let me know what you had (your favorite item on the table).
