It must be that time of year again...they've got the Christmas music playing at work. I saw a couple of my co-workers wearing santa hats. It's so funny because I caught myself complaining to a friend about how much I hate Christmas and the things that come with it. Then I realized...isn't Christmas all about Jesus' birth? Yeah. It is. (In case you were wondering) ;) It makes me sad that Christmas has become so commercialized that when I think about it I forget what it's really about.
I'm going to end this blog with a quote from the very funny Dave Barry:
"Well, the holiday gift-giving season is upon us once again, like an outbreak of shingles. Already I have received dozens of colorful mail-order gift catalogs urging me to buy bizarre objects and give them to people. I recently got a catalog featuring enormous cans of popcorn smeared with caramel, each containing enough carbohydrates to meet the needs of a medium-sized industrial city for a year. This is an example of a holiday gift, which is an object whose primary purpose is to be given, not actually be used. It expresses the ultimate holiday gift-giving message, which is, 'Look! I got you a gift!'"
