Why I hate Christmas

I've been waiting almost a month to write this.  Not only because I'm busy, but because I needed the right moment to compose such a post. 

I live right next to one of the busiest malls in Northern Virginia.  The mall is so large that it has two Macy's stores, a two story Forever XXI, Apple Store, you name it.  It's nothing but a sad, sick reminder of what people THINK Christmas is......MATERIAL.  I hate, hate, hate, hate it.  

To add to that, Christians that are should be setting the example (like myself) are so incredibly busy keeping up with Church activities that they cant even enjoy time with their own families.  I'm not at all saying that going to Church is wrong, but to a point it can be devastating to anyone.

Let's remember the point of Christmas: Jesus' birth.  It's a time to celebrate, not make yourself so busy that you want to crawl into a hole.   

I really do hope you enjoy this season.
