Christmas anticipation

Christmas is only four weeks away and excitement is already building.
Christmas is a time of magic and wonder!
I love this time of year because people watching is at its all time high. It's amazing to me how many people have forgotten the true meaning of the season. As you walk through the malls and stores stop and listen to people's conversations, you'll be amazed.
People get so stressed out about buying the right present for their kids, parents, friends, etc.. What ever happened to giving from the heart? Why do people not appreciate making something instead of buying something? The conversations are even better... "if you don't behave, I'll tell Santa not to bring you any presents!" Why do parents feel they need to threaten their children with this statement?? Talk about a kill joy!
I wonder how many people sit at home feeling sorry for themselves because they have no one?? Why don't these people go to their local red cross or non-profit organization and see how they can help deliver presents to kids or something?
Why do people get so selfish and depressed?? Is that what has become of this most magical time of year? People who sit at home and feel sorry for themselves?
I appreciate those families that actually laugh during this time and enjoy it for exactly what it was meant for, love, peace, and happiness!
oh yeah, by the way, we are skipping over Thanksgiving because Wal-Mart said so!!!!
