Holiday Frantic

Christmas is in 3 days!

Wild...

Even more wild is the long lines and 1/2 hour time spent in a car to find decent parking at the local mall. Christmas gifts to buy... I hate thinking of ideas so if I can't come up with one quickly I opt for the good ole gift card.

I seems as though so many people are shopping. I thought we were in a RECESSION. Where are people getting money from? Can I have some? I had to cut down my Christmas shopping list this year and on top of that had to budget how much I was going to spend on each person. I'm done, I picked up my last few things tonight and don't plan to step foot back in there until I'm picking up the after Christmas deals.

How did Christmas become so commercialized? I mean I feel as though through all this frenzy people have forgot the real meaning. Its kinda sad like as the years pass by it seems as if the gifts have to be bigger and better, which is costly. I mean a present is nice don't get me wrong, but how about laying low on spending your whole pay check and spending quality family time, or cooking a special meal and chilling with the significant other, and sitting that child down and explaining the real importance of Christmas. What happened to that?
