Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
Christmas. Don't get me wrong, I have no problem per se with Christmas. What REALLY gets my goat is the fact that the true meaning of Christmas is long forgotten. I remember a time when it was about FAMILY, where the thought counted and not how much debt we could run up each year on credit cards to give children a Christmas they pay for throughout the following year.
It's far too commercial nowadays, it's all about money money money. What about the real meaning of Christmas, the birth of Jesus? I'm a very poor Catholic, but it saddens me to see that religion plays a lesser role with each passing year. Maybe at the age of 32 I am turning into an old Scrooge, but I just feel sad each year when it is all about money.
