Just sitting here after a long day out and about, thinking about the years past. How things have changed as we all prepare for the Holidays. Kids get older, toys get more expensive, clothing can't be bought without the kids present, (could buy something they just don't like), more is never enough...and so on. Can't it just be simple again, where a Barbie doll or remote controlled car is enough? Where you can go and buy a cute little outfit and they are filled with joy when they open it?
There never seems to be enough time or money to ever make anyone happy anymore.
Kids have been spoiled over the years to want more and expect even more.
My 2 step kids get to have 5 Christmases every year. I think it's a bit much, and every home they go to, they are spoiled rotten. We just can't seem to live up to the expectations that others have set by thier expensive gifts, as they flaunt thier over abundance of money.
Like I said in a previous post,....let's take the Christmas Holiday back to the true meaning, and that is sharing and love. Time spent with loved ones, and wonderful memories being created.
Think about it...what is your greatest memory of a Christmas where there wasn't alot bought? What made it special, and try to recreate that moment with family now.
