My fiance keeps asking me what i want for christmas and nothing keeps coming to my mind. I have all that i can truly want, my home, my family and my mom coming to visit. Sure a million dollars or a million sales would be great but what i have is worth far more.
I do have one wish this holiday season, for those around me to remember what this season is all about. It doesnt matter whether your religious or not .. This is a season of giving. No i am not telling you that you need to run out and buy a whole bunch of presents, although your more then welcome to shop at my store. I am saying remember those around you. It's as simple as a kind word, say happy holidays to a stranger, help your neighbor out. The holiday season is supposed to be about joy and giving back.
I remember growing up we could decorate our work place, I remember i had red and green skirts and shirts, i had reindeer ears and i smiled every minute. It was a time when people were out running around to get there holiday gifts but still stopped to smile of wish a merry christmas. Now there are so many companies that want to be politically correct, and dont allow there empoyees to say merry christmas, but they still expect the holiday sales. Now a days decorations are neutrally wrapped pictures of presents, gingerbread men, maybe some bows. It is sad how many wonderful things were lost. The beauty of the season seems to have vanished.
So many people want to keep away the decorations, the phrases, but they still want the money. It saddens me each year how much is lost. At least the hallmark channel keeps me filled with christmas movies. It is a time to be thankful for everything we have. I am thankful for my pups, my fiance, my family, my friends, my creativity.
