Nearing the end of November now and Advent has arrived. For the merchants and consumers that generally means there's a mad rush to stores and malls to start Christmas shopping. Buy buy buy...is that what it has become for so many people? I'm getting a little disillusioned by that mentality. Christmas does not mean you spend loads of money on presents and gifts.
My sister suggested we tone it down this year and I really hope we do. I never overspend anyway, but the focus should be on enjoying Christmas day with family and friends and those you care about - not who gives what to whom and how much everything costs.
I intend to keep Christmas in my own way. And getting stressed out from Christmas shopping is definitely not for me. Peace.
