Christmas: Hectic or Peaceful????

Have you been to Macy’s lately or for that matter any other stores in the mall? It seems like a Winter Wonderland in every store you visit; with Christmas lights and garlands hanging from every direction and Christmas trees everywhere. It is a tad bit ridiculous if I may say so …. I mean honestly it’s not even Thanksgiving yet Halloween just passed. It’s a little ridiculous and they already have makeup, watches, wallets and many other items in festive holiday boxes. However, we can’t seem to resist starting our Christmas shopping instead of waiting until after Thanksgiving because the stores bombard us with nicely packaged items which we can’t resist purchasing them. Christmas is still a time for giving, sharing and being with your loved ones. It’s a time for decorating your Christmas trees, houses, windows and doors. Putting up Christmas trees, them as well as your them with your family or friends. It’s supposed to be a peaceful & joyous time, but come December the peacefulness and joy of the holiday season disappears …and is replaced by stress and tension as we struggle through the crowds of hundreds of people in popular stores trying to figure out the perfect gift for their family and friends.
