You know I have gotten to thinking. Where the hell did the real Christmas go, and who the hell knows where I can find it? The Commercialism of Christmas is one of the most evil things on a supposedly holy day. People have lost any meaning of Christmas. Christmas was the day Jesus was supposedly born. Do you think people honor that any longer? Even Christians are on the band wagon. I know that they have there little Christmas plays, and they have the Christmas morning services, but that is it. That is all that Jesus is celebrated. even the Christians hurry home to open presents and not just the children, its everyone.

I was warning my children that this Christmas was going to be sparse. I don’t have the money to do what I have done in years past… Then my 6 year old Kaylee looks at me and says “Mom, as long as you have a Merry Merry Christmas, I will be happy.” I broke down right then. I cried my eyes out. I am so happy that I have taught my girls that there is more to Christmas than what you get or how much you get.

I so want tradition to come back to my family before my girls get older. I had a little of tradition, but with a broken household, it was hard to keep it that way. This Christmas, my mother and I both have no money at all, so there will be no Traditional Christmas Eve dinner, My oldest is going with her dad and wonderful stepmother to Virgina for Christmas this year, and this will be the first Christmas without her and Sierra will be going with her dad and stepmother at 12:00 Christmas day till the weekend.

I am not in the Christmas spirit. I am sick of the Christmas songs, I am tired of seeing the sales commercials and I am SICK of the Christmas count down.

I do hope that Mr. Obama will help us out of this rut. Bring God back to this country, and bring hope to this world that has went to hell….
