A Different Christmas

I want to- get rid of christmas materialism sick of it and hate it so I have ideas for an alternative festive season (not saying I do not respect the religious day) lets change it revise it make it new we all like gifts but how about we don't buy new but do a thing exchange instead bring things you no longer want and exchange them for other things other things people brought to exchange lets each bring christmas baskets to give the poor a basket each made filled with homemade things like cookies jam or second hand things like warm socks, mittens, hats and scarfs (well because I am in Canada) just use some imagination . . . we will take a walk and give them out later how about decorating all together as a group the tree with lights and balls and sparkling tinsel have you heard some people are hanging their tree from the ceiling (make sure you have the proper hook) but I think I will go traditional there and don't stop there is a whole room house to go . . . . have each write down a christmas memory and each share it with the group aloud have a nice meal a pot luck and call it "The Save A Turkey Meal" ask each person to bring a non-traditional christmas dish I am so sick of the traditional lets change it revise it make it new have a christmas song sing-a-long there are some great songs non religious have a competition well those are- my ideas so far for my alternative christmas I am sure I will think of more before the 25th and talking about the 25th why not have it on another day . . . . ___________________ November 25, 2017 Poetry/Free Verse/A Different Christmas Copyright Protected, ID 17-9660-99-0 All Rights Reserved.
