Nowadays, as everyone is witness to and most definitely guilty of in one form or another, the Christmas season in particular has become all about commerce. In a way, it is a 'do this, get that, buy me this, I want that' season instead of what the true meaning of Christmas was originally about. The celebration of the birth of Christ. I won't preach to anyone ever what Christmas meant to me as a child, or what it means to me now, however, I will write about some of the horrors that have come from a season that claims to be one full of merriness, togetherness and family.

The holiday season does bring out the generous in people; there is usually an excess of volunteers at places that serve food to the homeless, hungry and poor, as well as more donations of money, food and gifts. I just witnessed a car accident and did a search for an article recently read on the subject of what to do when you witness one, and this article came up in the results. : >

Still recall the first time the Sears catalog was shoved under my nose and I had to sign my name next to what I wanted for Christmas. I didn't want anything and did not understand the whole thing. Once my kids were grown and off on their own, I stopped celebrating Christmas, because I could not reconcile all the pagan traditions we use to celebrate the birth of Christ. Some of the extended family do put up mangers and one sister does sing Happy Birthday to Jesus, but for the majority of people, it is all about Santa, gifts, parties and food.
