Well you wouldn't find me with a hook in my mouth being dragged into any store on what amounts to a materialistic retailers holiday for most. Christmas is too calibrate the birth of the Lord Jesus Christ but few even remember that fact. Just ask any kid, "Whats Christmas about?" Toys, video games, Etc..LOTS OF PRESENTS. Many adults never grow out of it and just want bigger more expensive toys and video games(stuff). Except now they give themselves gifts. Greed is a what it's about, it's everywhere you look and "ME" is the most important #1 person.
If I spend the holidays with my wife, two sons and my 79 year old parents. I have gotten the best gift anybody could have given me. No amount of money or gift could replace it.
In years past, I have went with my sons and dad and cut a tree on Christmas eve from our woods. We took it home and all of us decorated it. I fired up the wood cook stove and made Christmas dinner in it's oven. Me and my father enjoyed a couple of cocktails and enjoyed reminiscing old hunting stories or Christmas's past. The smell of my mothers home made pies and fresh bread hot from the oven. We may haven even taken a walk for a Grouse or two before dinner. Enjoyed snacks like smoked oysters, sharp cheddar cheese, dips, crackers, chips, Etc. How could you top that as a gift? you can't. You don't buy that at Wal-mart or Best Buy. We would open one or two gifts each(sometimes something very nice, like a gun for my sons or father or something as nice for the lady's) and that's it. Another gift we don't get....a mail box full of credit card bills to start the new year.
The only way you would find me on the news is if you made me go shopping on "Black Friday" No way, No how could I put up with the materialistic wacko's hell bent on giving themselves the best gift ever.
