My meaning of Christmas

Christmas is just around the corner. Everyone is in such a BIG rush to get that last gift for him or her. When you look around Christmas time, all you see is people being stressed out because they have to get gifts for everyone, and wrap them, and send them off. I know everyone loves getting new things, and I will say I love getting new things also. Like my Sweet 16 is four days away from Christmas. So I get double gifts. When you are younger you learn the meaning of Christmas. When you get older, you start to lose the REAL meaning of Christmas. It's NOT just about the gifts. I learned that it is about the birth of Jesus Christ and spending time with our love one's and friends. I guess we loose sight of the real meaning of Christmas with everything going on these days. Everyone is always working, going there and here, spending time with friends, to busy to slow down and take a deep breath and just relax. So please just take time away from our busy lives and just spend time with our families and our friends.
