MAKE Christmas

with the current economic situation, all I hear about is how hard Christmas will be this year. I just don't get it. I don't want to preach, blah blah blah. Here I go: Why? I guess Christmas presents aren't that important to me. Yes, they are fun and awesome, but if I never got another one life would go on. Then I hear about it being for the kids. It's like that because the kids were taught to expect lavish gifts. So, what about MAKING Christmas? Or working to change your mind about your ideas? Or giving useful gifts? That's all.
