Christmas is a great time of the year full of family and joy for most people but when you actually think about it and realize that there are people less fortunate who don't get all of these material objects that we long for at Christmas time, it's sad and we shouldn't just "come to the realization" that that's happening, we should act upon it. Keeping them in our minds isn't going to fix the fact that we have everything we could ever need and more but they are struggling so hard for a fraction of what we have. I think Christmas has gotten out of hand seeing as before Christmas was about Jesus and the very miraculous night that was but it's turned into caring about nothing but ourselves and the anticipation leading up towards the morning when we get to open our presents and everything about us not why Christmas was even invented or the purpose behind it all. We've completely lost the true meaning of Christmas and don't even remember to maybe think about Jesus' legacy and how much more that should mean to us than a couple materialistic gifts that in reality mean nothing whatsoever. Not only has Christmas turned into a self-centred thing, it's become more about shopping than spending time with loved ones and basically the things that matter. We should start to appreciate the things we brush over that mean so much more than that and do not deserve to be brushed over at all because tha's completely rude and seriously unacceptable. It's not just about being sellfish and thinking about just ourselves but it's lke brushing away Jesus. To conclude, I think that we've just completely lost the meaning of Christmas and we're so deeply invested in shopping, eating and gift opening, there's no way we can get it back which is the biggest dissapointment. Especially to Jesus.
