I have mixed opinions about all the "big deal" holidays. On one hand, I am just happy to be here and feel blessed. On the other hand, I hate having to pretend to have a good time because it is New Year's Eve or whatever.
Halloween around here can be fun just because I like getting the girls into a costume and listening to my neighbors tease about this. However, Christmas can be so expensive and way too much trouble. I do feel like I have lost the meaning of Christmas with all the gifts, expense, food, etc. Sad. I wish we would give donations to our favorite charities, instead of material things.
Anyway, relating to your post, Donna. |
