The weekend is over! already! I know I'm a stay at home mom, BUT it seems like the holiday went by so quick! I'm glad that my daughter goes back to school on tomorrow, so that's a plus for me. I love her dearly but, she gotta go!
I hope that everyone had an awesome holiday weekend. I hope everyone experienced safe traveling mercy and grace and now it's on to the next one. I don't know but over the past few years it seems like the holidays just aren't what they used to be. Now it just seems like it's just another day off work. The holiday spirit has been replaced with so much commercialism until the true meaning is no longer valid. It's all about money. So many people get depressed around the holiday because they feel like they have failed if they didn't get a gift or give a gift. I know these are the traditions that we grew up with, but even then there was a true sense of family and love and sharing that love with family and friends. Nowadays it's about outdoing the last year and the year before. Remember growing up, just about every house on the block was decorated, everyone you pass by would happily say 'Merry Christmas!', the Christmas candy and fruit was plentiful and so delicious, and there was food for days! Now, we can barely say anything with the word Christ, the holiday decorations are up by September and they start playing Christmas music and commercials in October. This is just my opinion but I just don't feel the spirit of the holidays the way I used to. I'm still looking forward to spending time with the family, but I know the greatest gift given was the life of Jesus Christ when He died for my sins. I'm eternally grateful and there is no greater gift than that.
