O.K., today’s subject is holidays. I guess I’m just one of those people that don’t feel that you should put yourself in hock up to your eyeballs for Christmas. I know that isn’t always a popular thing, but I just can’t see the sense in buying thing you really don’t need, and probably won’t use and then paying them off for 6 month on your credit cards. Am I wrong here? Am I just out of the loop?
I’m watching hordes of people buy things just to purchase them. Why? I don’t know how many times I’ve heard, “We have to get them something”, “Just buy her/him anything, he/she can return it.” WTF! Am I missing something? When did Christmas become so ridiculous?
Now, let me state that I am not a religious person. To each his own. For me Christmas has no religious significance. You’d think I’d be more into the commercial end of things. I really hope I never get on that band wagon.
And for all of you with kids and grandkids. Shouldn’t it be more about being together as a family and not who go the kid the biggest best gift? I know I’m rambling here but I must say that I’m very passionate about this subject. I have a coworker who as a six month old and they’ve spent several thousand dollars in decorations and gifts etc…she’s 6 months old! Wait until she’s 4 or 5 and then go ape shit with the gifts. She doesn’t even know her name yet for god’s sake!
Sorry, didn’t mean to get off on a tangent. DO you see where I’m trying to go here? It should be about more than who much you spend and how big and impressive the gift is.
Now I’ve vented and I’ll climb off the soap box.
