Christmas is my favorite time, more than just a day. It's unfortunate it's so commercialized. That's for stores to make money. It do like the idea of Santa, though, who supposedly gives people nice gifts.

For us Christians, Christmas is the most special time of the year--other than Easter. For many it is a time of giving and showing others we care. I go the whole route--cards, gifts, decorating the house, Christmas movies and music, etc. It is the spirit of the thing.

It's sad when so many expectations are dashed. People do expect too much from a commercial standpoint. It's getting together with people that really matters--even if we just need to get out in malls and stores to enjoy the music and the decorations.

I'm sorry it's hard for some of you.
