For those of you who participated in Christmas I assure you I mean no disrespect, I merely have a different way of looking at the occasion and holidays in general.Christmas among other days were created by businesses to entice you to buy more things you don't really need. If the day is to celebrate one of the most selfless individuals in history (Jesus) do you really think it should be spent honoring consumerism?
Once a year we meet and exchange gifts not out of the goodness of our hearts, but out of guilt. We haven't kept in touch or been as close to our loved ones as we'd like so "Christmas" is the perfect way to make up for the uncomfortable truth.
What If We Skipped Christmas?
Instead, we chose not to indulge in this silliness and spent our time doing something productive. While you're off relaxing, the opposition is working. They've noticed the opportunity to get ahead and they're seizing it.
What if, we kept up with our loved ones year around, and worked to give them the things they want and need as they arose rather than waiting for this once a year occasion.
We celebrated the things we have, and if we felt so inclined to take time off we did it trying something new. So, save your present money and take that trip you always wanted, go sky diving, or bungee jumping just make sure to invite your closest loved ones along for the ride. I wont judge you.
Maybe that makes me a Grinch, but that's the way I'll be spending the holidays this year, seems a lot more fulfilling to me, but I have been wrong before.
