I love Christmas. I didn't get to celebrate it as a kid, so I go all out now.
Yep, its over commercialized. Yep, the crowds are pain, the parking is a pain, driving in the snow is a pain.
Christmas is about family. Your relatives make you sick? Don't speak to them. This year we will be celebrating without my brother, who passed away over the summer. It's going to be hard, but we're going to do it anyway because we'll be celebrating his spirit and the family we have left. It's not just about buying people stuff and spending lots of money....its what you make of it.
