the spirit of christmas? Thursday, December 27, 2007 at 2:40am

right, so basically Christmas or Xmas whatever they call it these days is finally over, another year of fancy green and red tinsel, mistletoes, egg nog and santa clause caricatures finally getting ready to go back into hiding. with all of the holiday bustling its very hard for me to really stop and take the time and think what christmas is all about. unfortunately the spirit of christmas was not apparent in this years experience for me, i was to busy concerning myself with all of these obnoxious blow up christmas decorations, the christmas Elmo one being the least of my favorites. seeing not only this but the commercial nature of the holdiay's season truly robs me of my christmas spirit. im not sure if its just me or if their are others out there who share my point of view, it doest matter, perhaps i am just getting older and their are other issues that are concerning me. i would really like to see christmas becoming more of a community involved time where people truly stop and try to get to know one another instead of putting fake smiles on and giving out false greetings. anyways merry Christmas truly.
