Holidays

And so it begins.... the Christmas season is upon us. We will now be inundated with sale ads, commercials, and mailings vying for the almighty buck. Each outlet spends money to convince us that our lives are not complete without the purchase of (fill in the blank). We are lured to their product like a fish on the line. Bigger and flashier ads follow to reel us in as Christmas approaches. Any means possible are used to ensure the sale, such as pulling on the heartstrings of family love. If we allow it, we detract from the spirit of Christmas. Find the vibes and hold them close this season. There is nothing that we need to be made of metal, plastic, or string that will brighten our holidays. It is the flesh and blood of loved ones that blankets the world for us. It is memories made that carry us through the tough times. It is laughter shared that warms the heart. Merry Holidays to one and all. Throw away the ads!
