This is an interesting thread kvinn.....I can understand how you feel. It has become very commercialized and that takes some of the meaning out of it.

I do think that I try to instill the true meaning of Christmas with my children. I make sure that it doesn't get lost in the hustle and that the spirit stays with us.

I lost my Mom last year on Christmas (27th) and am having a difficult time this year. If I did not have my sons I doubt that I would have felt like celebrating it at all. What I have done though is look through the eyes of them.

What was it like when you were younger Kvinn? Do you have a memory that stands out to you when you were a child? I am just curious . It is also my birthday on Christmas Day so I have always had mixed feelings there too....used to think I was the baby Jesus...cute eh?
