bah humbug

Published Nov. 28, 2008

Anyone else besides me feeling a bit humbugged this year? While I am not the greedy,miserly person that Ebenezer Scrooge was, I am feeling humbugged. I know this isn't good but with all that's gone on in my life over the past few years I can't help it. I never did like  the commercial side of the Christmas Holiday season with all the Ads on TV, two months of Christmas music on the radio/TV, all the rushing around to buy gifts, kids  worried about what they'll get, and parents spending way too much money on these gifts.

Sadly the true meaning of the holiday gets lost in the shuffle; remembering and honoring the birth of our Lord and Savior.

I agree too much comercial in Christmas.

I know you guys and gals have moved from Thanksgiving to Christmas; however, I just received a wonderful email from one of my students that really made me feel good about the holidays. His insights were marvelous. It gave me a new view on Thanksgiving. I am going to paste it without adding his name. pleas disregard any errors. I hope you enjoy it. wish you happy thanksgiving day,hope you injoy the day and ate lots of turky,as much as I did, I couldnot tell which is more stuffed more the turky or me ,good friend invited us we had lots of food ,and fun ,it is such a majic day ,it brings people togather ,since people are busy all year around ,this day is very essintial and important for the families to vist each other and socialise, on top of that the feeling toward the poore or unfortunite people whom lost ther job or sick without any fault on ther side . just layd off ther job , how lucky we are:" we should thank god every morning ,I wish they make it at least 4 times a year ,,,
