   These feeling you have of the dwindling feeling and atmosphere of Christmas is because you attached Christmas with its commercial trappings . What businessmen wants you to feel . This is normal , this is what we have been born with .but Christmas started without these material trappings . Christmas is the celebration of the first mass held in honor of the birth of Jesus Christ in a manger with no lights and bells and Christmas colored balls and ham and grapes and apples …… .
   Christmas is the joyful celebration of the birth of the savior , now if we could just go back to that real reason fo Christmas , then even the peso is 57 to 1 USD , or 36 to 1 USD , even we have 20 pesos to a gallon of Unleaded oil;or 200 to a gallon or Arroyo government is not hounded by corruption allegations or we have no new havaianas or Lacoste shirt this Christmas ,

   then Christmas feeling will always be joyful and good.

   I know Annabelle,it’s the same no matter where your at in the country.I mean c’mon,thier now calling them “holiday trees”
   rather than CHRISTMAS trees.I don’t think I’ve seen any
   Christmas carolers in years!What’s happening to our morals
   and values these days?Just read a question on here the other day where a Mom had her daughter threaten her,to go live with her Dad,because the Mom couldn’t afford Christmas gifts this year!Unreal how material our world has become!
   I’m sorry this is what is happening but it is and thats what I’m beginning to see verses “the goodness of the season”!
   Either way I hope you have a Happy Christmas and keep your
   spirit up and bring more people into your “goodness”,it does spread!God bless!

   Past Christmases have been celebrated mostly in the Philippines and now I get to spend it here “alone” in the States…oh yes, BIG difference there!!! Not just in the air but in the deep recesses of my heart.
