With Thanksgiving over, Christmas is right around the corner! My neighbors have already hung their Christmas lights, radio stations are already playing Christmas music and retail stores have already stocked all of their shelves with Christmas decorations. This got me thinking about what the Christmas season has really turned into? It seems as though the retail industry has turned Christmas into purchasing the best gifts and the newest products. I am almost disgusted when I see people standing outside department stores on Black Friday waiting to plow each other over when the doors open, meanwhile they could be spending their time at home with their families whom they probably only get to see on the holidays.
My Facebook updates are full of what everyone got on Cyber Monday! As per my previous post, to me the holidays are not about receiving, I look forward more to spending time with my family! For the past couple of years instead of giving gifts we have gone on a cruise together. I think that is what everyone should do! Because at the end of the day, the Coach purse or Marc Jacobs sunglasses will go out of style but your family will not!
