I know that the weight of the recession is beginning to hit a lot of people. I heard on the radio one lady say that her kids will only be getting heat and food for this christmas.
The one thing that I see in what people feel is such a horribe situation is that we are forced to remember that this season is not about the gifts you get. For so many years parents ran around and made themselves go broke to make sure their children have toys. Well now many are on a fixed budget so spending money on toys is not a option. That can seem bad but it actually makes us all spend more time with our family and not stressing about how much debt we created.
This special time of year is about love so as you sit at home or where ever you decide to be love whomever you are with. That is worth much more than your money could buy.

I absolutely agree and as old as the "Charlie Brown Christmas Story" is, it completely summarizes what Christmas has become. People are completely confused and their "values are in disaray" (thanks TI). Focus has been completely lost of the Christmas season, it's about Christ and his birth that has become a part of the four part gospel that we know today: the birth, the life, the death and the resurrection. My hubby and I teach our kids the reason for the season. The gifts to them are symbolic of the gifts that Christ received for his birth. They understand that we gift presents to them for the symbolic meanings of Christmas, not because we have too. And because of these teachings, they value the gifts more.
