Unbelievable !
Quote From: ramair Jose is right about the whole-sale over-commercialization of Christmas. And, in some venues, it starts the day after Halloween. When the first Christmas items are put on display. It begins even sooner in the yard-goods department. Christmas-themed fabric begins arriving by July. No wonder so many people are "sick" of Christmas by Thanksgiving. Yes, I think commercialization has warped the meaning of Christmas. So has excessive greed. How many kids "ask for the moon" every Christmas. And, let's not forget all the excessive partying that's become the norm in certain circles. As if drunkeness and gluttony are the only way to "celebrate" Christmas. Is Jose taking his position too far? Probably. And, is he a cheapskate? A teddy bear fished out of a dumpster does suggest that he is. He ought to at least give her a new one. Myself I enjoy Christmas and so does my family.This year though I'm un employed,and so is my brother.I'm frustrated because I can't buy gifts for my family.I have a son,daughter,a grandson,3 nephews, 2 nieces, then of course other family members.And I'm broke !!! Then there's people like Jose and his wife.Him acting like Scrooge and her throwing gifts away.What's wrong with you people ! ?How can you be so ungrateful ? Also, I think Christmas decorations are beautiful ! When kids ask for things for Christmas they're just being kids. By the way, we never forgot the true meaning of Christmas either.And yes,Jose is taking his position too far.Buy her a new one for pete's sake !
