christmas!!

Christmas is a wonderful holiday, because it celebrates the birth of our christ. there are some poeple in the world that takes this holiday to the extreme. The poeple put tons of lights outside their house and have five foot santas in their front yard. I bet their electric bill is going to be high for the whole month of december. I love the holiday and everything, but I wouldn't go all crazy with it. My family and I don't really decorate for the holiday, we use to when I was younger, but not now. When I was young my mom, brother and I took about three hours putting up the christmas tree. That tree was about seven feet tall and we had decorates out the butt for it. Thanks goodness mom put on the tv to keep us intertained while we put ornaments on the tree. We also use to put figuranes up around the house of jesus being born. All we do now is just go visit the family, and celebrate the birth of our christ. Some times my mom, brother, and I go up to see my aunt in Wisconsin or we just all go to my grandparents house.
Its so hard to keep money when Christmas gets here, because you are tring to get gifts for all of your friends and family. It is worst though if you have tons of friends and family, but have no job. A lot of kids is like that now. For eveything you get for christmas will make up what you spent on everybody though, so you spent your money on yourelf in a way. There are some people who get beautiful gifts for all their friends, but does not want anything in return. That is what christmas should be about beside celebrating christ. Just giving to the less fortunate and help the people you love. There is a lot of poeple on Earth who is less fortunate and need to be helped. During christmas is when a majority of charities come out and ask for help. Hopefully, poeple will give money to them this year even though eveybody is having finacial trouble. Chrsitmas is about celebrating with people you love that God has sent his son for us and helping the poeple who need it the most.
