What Christmas Really Means

If expensive gifts weren't a must, the Holiday stress would be less felt; think for a minute of no presents being given to folks of all ages... wouldn't it be taken as an offense? One thought will come quickly to everybody's mind whose focus contradicts what Christmas really means; only its true meaning will make us fond, scolding us of all the wasted energy. Childhood was an exciting experience, waking up on Christmas day with dreamy eyes, and find lots of toys next to our bed; just imagine how brats would have felt, seeing only one present on the messy carpet! In this high technology age of sour feeling, kids expect more sophisticated gifts with a hefty price and they will immediately toss aside those not to their liking; even having the guts to complain to their parents, who thought they were doing something nice! Let's take the trivial jollification out of the Holidays, not the spiritual one, which is a pure joy to share... to confirm the scope of the real message of what Christmas really means to people everywhere, whose thoughts are turned to the birth of Jesus!
