Christmas

It is hard to get into christmas this year. I feel as if we are losing the real reason we have christmas. It is not the presents but the time that is spent with family. Yes I want my kids to get nice things but those things can be bought anytime of the year if it truly needed. I want the old fashion christmas of the past. Decorating the house, wonderful smells of things being baked, hot cocca, taking walks in the snow, singing carols, and walking in small villages. Where did we lose all this? I have quite enough of the crazy ads, sales, and people acting as if they have no common sense. I still remember a pregnant lady dying when Cabbage patch kids first came out. People have lost what is important at any holiday time not just Christmas. Does anyone care? Laura
