I guess I am in the Christmas Spirit, I guess...

Well... i guess i am in the CHRISTmas spirit...i guess.

i mean, by my own accord i've played some Christmas music- albeit it has only been 2 songs; happy christmas (war is over) john lennon and winter wonderland; covered by styper...

i guess why it's been hard to get into the mode of Christmas is... materialism- i mean, i've already spent one evening trying to get out of naperville and it took over an hour! last night i had to drive through geneva and st. charles and that too took a long time...
*sigh* 'tis the rememberance of Jesus' birthday - bah humbug! it is more of a 'tis the time to BUY BUY BUY! get all the fricken crap that doesn't last forever and makes you your special someones friend for a whole 5 minutes... yes, i will be getting items... yes, i put up a Christmas list, yes...i got my Christmas shopping out of the way...for the most part... but i think the problem is that...

we have lost the focus; the direction on the compass points back to us instead of to others... it has also voided out Jesus... Christmas has become a comercialistic heretical thing: to add more insult to injury, a lot of people are saying "happy holidays" instead of Christmas. I have wished my Jewish friends Happy Channukah and they have wished me a Merry Christmas- see! it's not like we're going around trying to offend each other, we are not being PC about it, we are simply passing on a greeting based on religion. (even though Christianity is not a religion, but I'll blog about that some other day...)

Give me Christmas,
but don't give me the 'yeah-it-is-Christmas-but-I-need-this-stuff' spiel; I could tell you about what I've seen in this world, but then again... I too have too much stuff- this will change...sooner, not later.

Have a Merry CHRISTmas and a Happy New Year, but don't forget the reason in which we celebrate the 25th of December.

Going on by GOD's strength alone,
